We're using rsnapshot.
My colleague set it up, but I will be taking over administration soon.

Hi all!
I'm building a raid box to use for backups, connectivity will be either USB3 or esata.
Looking for suggestions on backup software I can use.
I know there's rsync, which may be a good solution. I also find backupPC at epel, backintime also at epel, kbackup.
DejaDup looks interesting, but none of the repos I'm set up to use shows it being available.
some small details: I plan to use this to keep backups of my centos desktop, which has two 320GB drives in linux RAID-1. The backup box will have two 1TB drives, also in RAID-1. It will be a two drive enclosure with PS and cooling, with USB3 or esata, but not networking.
I was thinking that it would be nice to have a full backup followed by a set of incrementals, and software that allows access to the state of the system for any specific date (similar to a source control system), but it may be that nothing free and/or uncomplicated will offer such a feature.
But, as I always say, "suggestions welcomed!"
