I use rdiff-backup for all of my non system backups. And as part of
my nightly script I copy several of the more interesting system config
files to a /config directory I created and include it in the nightly
backup.
One nice thing about rdiff-backup is it keeps the primary copy in
vanilla form, then it has a series of diffs that allow it to recall
older versions. On command line you can tell rdiff-backup how many
backup revisions to keep.
In my case I have a fair amount of corporate data, so I keep a local
copy of the backup on a dedicated internal mirror (500GB I think),
plus I send a copy of the backup data offsite.
I do not want to have the offsite data unencrypted, so I actually use
encfs locally to hold the backup data, then I use rsync from the raw
encrypted dirs to my offsite location. (I am using a hosting company
for the offsite storage, thus the desire to both transport and store
the offsite date encrypted.)
When I first set this up,it took about 2 months to fully replicate my
offsite copy. I only let rsync run from 1am to 6am each night.
