There are just so many ways of backing up that i probably dont even know half the available options myself.....Although i`ve messed about with many of the more interesting methods i now generally just plug something in and copy it over.
A good place to start though, as ever, would be the
BackupYourSystem guide for Ubuntu.
Full drive imaging is probably one of the best methods for full system backups that can be easily restored(just using virtual machines is good for that too) but if you want continual daily backs ups then something like rsync might be better.
The guide above probably links to most of the best options but here`s another couple of handy links.

Personally i just keep copies of important stuff on otherwise unused external drives and dvd`s but i also run an NFS server which everybody in the house can copy their own important stuff onto for safe keeping. ...which is handy as far as the kids are concerned. It`s also our local movie/muisic/game repo so everything like that is in one central location.
