I have found a couple of GUI backup programs;
grsync which is a graphical front end to rsync
http://www.opbyte.it/grsync/
sbackup which is a graphical front end to cron and tar
http://sbackup.sourceforge.net/HomePage
which are both available from the ubuntu repositories.
Both are simple to set up for a desktop and worked for me as ways of
simply backing up a desktop to another disk on the same machine, or a
detachable usb disc. Both do not implement the full set of features of
the back end programs, but do enough to be useful.
