It is primarly for online ( disk ) backups but has an archive function as well. There are Fedora rpms for it available in th Everything repo and the source is available on sourceforge < http://backuppc.sourceforge.net > I tend to use the source as it's easy to set up and allows me to configure the backup directories as I like.
