Comparison of backup tools

I use Ubuntu 11.10 and I was wondering which backup tool is the best at the moment. I do not need some lightweight, but a very robust and powerful tool like I find on windows platforms.

I need to back files periodically to my external hd.

Previously I got an excellent advises here on which app to use for a specific task, so I hope you'll propose another great tool for backup.

Thanks

I am a software developer and I need to keep my code safe, so I back it up daily.

I have searched lots of back up tools and I have decided that in fact deja-dup (Déjà Dup) is the best and easy-to-understand backup tool.

Deja-dup comes by default with Ubuntu 12.04, just search for 'Backup' in the Dash and click on its icon:

deja-dup's icon

A new window will open which will let you choose your options:
Deja-dup's options

Deja-dup will silently run, showing only a notification each time the back-up is completed.

It has never destroyed anything, it works like a charm!
