rsnapshot

rsnapshot is a powerful backup utility that uses rsync and hard links to create efficient snapshots of local and remote systems. It’s a reliable solution for maintaining secure and incremental backups. Leveraging rsync for efficient data transfer, rsnapshot then utilizes hard links for subsequent snapshots.

This approach ensures that only changed files take up new disk space, resulting in an incredibly space-efficient backup solution for maintaining multiple historical versions. It excels at automating the creation and rotation of these snapshot backups for both local and remote machines.
