A bit of a tangent, but the linked rsnapshot tool is about 7k lines of perl code. The COPYING file is 20 years old and it's still maintained, the last change was 6 months ago. I'm feeling really old.
Yes, rsnapshot is excellent, I'm glad the article mentioned it. I use it for my weekly backups. So wonderfully simple. I wish the config file weren't quite so strict about syntax, but I only need to change it about twice a decade so no big deal.
