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.
