Hello Grzegorz!

There is KDar, but there seems to be very few activity on it. 
The authors seem to be slowly porting the program to KDE 4.
http://kdar.sourceforge.net/

Maybe merging KDar and Kamion would be a good idea. You would need a 
storage backend and this could be dar. Dar can remember deleted files 
when doing incremental backups. It also really works with Utf8 
filenames because the developer comes from France. Being able to use 
CDs/DVDs for storage is also good.

An other idea, that I find interesting, is to write an installer for 
one of the bigger backup applications. This installer would be 
specially targeted for small offices or even to run everything on the 
same computer.
Projects I know are:
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
http://www.bacula.org/en/

Kind regards,
Eike.
