Anything like this, but with fewer windows?

It needs to be backing up to a HFS+ volume locally or via AFP. SMB is not going to do it.

Also don't even think about using the Backup Exec agent, it's useless. As is retrospect, but in very different ways. Time machine actually works very well, if you choose the right items you can do a complete restore from the install dvd.
