Description: local and remote filesystem snapshot utility
rsnapshot is a filesystem snapshot utility. It can take incremental
snapshots of local and remote filesystems for any number of
machines. rsnapshot makes extensive use of hard links, so disk space
is only used when absolutely necessary.

How does rsnapshot compare to faubackup? I'm using faubackup for a year or so
now and it seems to work fine.
It's also in debian packages and does pretty much exactly the same as rsnapshot:
Description: Backup System using a Filesystem for Storage
This Program uses a filesystem on a hard drive for incremental
and full backups.
All Backups can easily be accessed by standard filesystem tools
(ls, find, grep, cp, ...)
.
Later Backups to the same filesystem will automatically be
incremental, as unchanged files are only hard-linked with
the existing version of the file.
