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.
