Since nobody has mentioned it I'll give a plug for Rsnapshot. It works well for us backing up hundreds of Linux systems. It supports hardlinks and even relies on them you might say... "Using rsync and hard links, it is possible to keep multiple, full backups instantly available. The disk space required is just a little more than the space of one full backup, plus incrementals." http://www.rsnapshot.org/ -- Mark D.
