Well rsnapshot uses rsync but keeps revisions from each transfer.  I use
it to keep revisions every couple of hours on a couple of servers.  It
can also of course transfer remotely by rsync and hence uses the
standard regular amount of transfers of rsync, but with the advantage of
keeping historical copies (and by using hardlinks to store the
revisions, only files with changes require additional space to store).
