Jeff, 

This table that I organized, I just listed the packages of "Mageia 1" and  
"Mandriva 2010.2"

The packages that have "---- no ----"  I not found in the official repository of  
"Mageia 1" (default repository: Media 1, 3, 11, 13, 21 and 23).

The package "Drakbackup" is default in "Mandriva 2010.2", but i didn't find in 
official repository of  "Mageia 1", 

The same happened with the packages:

4 - TimeVault ---------- no ----------------
2 - AMANDA - ---------- no ----------------
7 - DAr - Disk Archiver - ---------- no ----------------

I'm using Luckybackup because it is easy to use, very user-friendly.
The others I don't know, I think they are complexes to configure, as Bacula, as 
commented by Eugeni Dononov.

The table only lists,  I didn't evaluate the backup software.

Fortunately, Eugeni Dononov presented us with an excellent evaluation of the 
various backup software.
