Mark,

   I've been using dirvish <http://www.dirvish.org/> for several years and
like it. It's built on rsync and while setup can be confusing, once up and
running it just keeps on going. I've not done a full restore from it, but
have recovered files and directories without any issues.

   I make backups daily and keep them for only a few months. Keith keeps his
forever.

   Perhaps it will suit your needs, too.
