rsync
Thanks, something with a web interface? Something newer
BorgBackup, and this is Linux, most of the cool things don't have GUI's. :P
rsync + cron.
This needs agent-forwarding and a private key in root's /root/.ssh folder. I'm yet to google again how I did setup this up my digitalocean server.

@Mikho 's script then can be used to decrypt your openssl encrypted .tar.gz files
I left his 'f' off from tar as it was giving me errors.
Set this shit up on cron and you can go to town.
root@server:$ crontab -e
...
0 0 * * * /root/job/backup.job
You can test parts of the script always with bash backup.job or whatever to make sure it works.
why not use GPG?

Duplicity.
Bash
Self-promotion, but Duplicity is really easy to set up and it works very well: https://raymii.org/s/tutorials/Website-and-database-backup-with-Duplicity.html
I've now got over a thousand servers running Duplicity every night doing backups, and it hasn't failed on me once. However, I still do monthly restore testing and monitoring just to be sure.
Regarding the (web) UI you might try Duplicati: http://www.duplicati.com/
Used version 2.* some time ago and was pretty happy.
