Home users would be really happy to recover a snapshot of a file they
deleted accidentaly. I know there's rsync (I use it myself), but i'm
talking about easy of use.

There are some projects already working like Flyback and TimeVault.
  
For versioned backups, I use storebackup.  Once configured, it is really 
a no brainer.  It runs from cron.daily, uses compression and hard links 
to make it super space efficient.  Here at home (smaller needs and 
partition space) I have it keep 3 days worth backed up.  At work, I now 
have it keeping 40 days worth of each file.  It works very well for me.
