Recently (the last day or so) I've come across a backup tool named poppins 
(link below).  I mention it here because it uses rsync.  It also uses a client 
/ server approach (but, perhaps it can be adapted to have the client and 
server on the same computer). 

I have not used it, and can make no endorsement.  I would be interested in 
feedback from anyone who does try it.  (I don't even know if it completely 
open source or if there are some proprietary portions or any fees...)
