KDat isn't the most reliable backup system I ever used.  But it sure has a nice 
user interface.
Arkeia is free for personal use so if you need a GUI then that is what I would 
go for.  You could also consider CTar.

... And - as mentioned before - KDat is no longer actively maintained.  Your 
e-mail came in with a later time stamp than a response to it.  Sorry for the 
duplication of this comment.
