I've been using rdiff-backup for over a year.  It combines rsync with 
diff storage, so I can retrieve a backup from any point in time. 
Periodically I prune the backup filesystem with options like 
--remove-older-than 30D.

I like it a lot, bandwidth and diskspace efficient since both transfer 
and storage are done using diffs.
