The original guide (that I know of) for doing disk to disk backups
with rsync can be found here:
http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/
Then there's "dirvish" which I think it based on that method:
http://www.dirvish.org/
Next there's rdiff-backup, which can be found here:
http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/
I think there are some other rsync-related backups too. I hear good
thing about the "backup pc" project. http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
