Scary to say, but I think this has been around over 10 years, so it might
even be ontopic... The program 'taper' makes a decent front-end to tar --
I've used it before & it does allright.
Text based, but uses ncurses. Rather a bit like a 'midnight commander' for
backups. ;-)
Offtopically, if you want to back up a machine to bootable DVD for
restoring, mondo works well.
