Description-en: local and remote filesystem snapshot utility
rsnapshot is an rsync-based filesystem snapshot utility. It can take
incremental backups of local and remote filesystems for any number of
machines. rsnapshot makes extensive use of hard links, so disk space is
only used when absolutely necessary.
