There was a story on HackerNews about rsnapshot yesterday, the
discussion was informative:

    https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11817701

Several rsnapshot alternatives came up during that discussion

    Attic - https://attic-backup.org/
    Borg - https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/
    Obnam - http://obnam.org/

Just fyi.
