I'm quite happy with rsnapshot. It does take some time to copy and delete lot of files, but it's expected. Before this issue with HDDs I haven't had any performance issues. rsnapshot would copy and delete and load would be low. I'm using RAID10 so that might helped.
I understood that rdiff-backup is much faster, but I was put away from it because of stalled development. Also, I like how every backup iteration of rsnapshot looks complete.
