I use rsync with a --backup-dir=/${DIR}/backup/${MONTH}/${DIRDATE}/
and a bunch of --excludes for directories/files that I don't need
backed up.
It rsync's and any replaced files get copied into the backup-dir (so
an incremental backup of sorts). And every so often (usually when
low on space) I clean out the older dates with the assumption that if
I have not noticed the file is missing I probably don't care.
