Grsync and LuckyBackup are the best GUI backup programs in Linux.
Rsync is probably the best tool to make backups in Linux, but if you are uncomfortable Grsync and LuckyBackup are its graphical front ends.
Rsync can do incremental backups, so you backup only new files or files that have been changes, but you don’t backup the files that have been backup earlier. This makes the backup process very fast.
Rsync doesn’t use any compression or proprietary formats, so it copies your files as they are and you can open your backup as normal files and folder.

1:33 Grsync is a simple GUI of rsync, so it doesn't provide all rsync options. But it has enough options for simple backup. It is also probably on of the best Linux backup programs for new users.
12:14 LuckyBackup... Don’t be mislead by the name, LuckyBackup is a reliable program. It is also based on rsync but has more options than Grsync. LuckyBackup was my default backup tool until I completely switched to the command line rscync. If you want to have all power of rsync but in a user-friedly GUI, I hightly recommend LuckyBackup.
Both Grsync and LuckyBackup are available in standard repositories of probably all Linux distributions.
