I currently use Back In Time https://backintime.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ This is a snapshot like system with a GUI front end. I used to use rsnapshot. Both are based on rsync. The reason I switched was because Dick Miller swears by it and I wanted to try it. I actually preferred the rsnapshot format, but backintime essentially does the same thing.
