I use bacula, it is very fast but not immediately configurable - the
manual is extensive however but be prepared to take some time over setup.
http://www.bacula.org. It support compression and encryption and is
relatively fast. The director console is nearly friendly with a few
caveats.
Windows and Linux clients feed data into the system.
I have used tar extensively and is pretty good all round tool, with
scripts and samba shares for windows.
