I recommend looking into rdiff-backup, which combines the best features
of a mirror and incremental backups (uses librsync). Also runs on
windows.

I run it on my Dockstar, with two USB disks plugged in. Means I have a
full mirror and incremental backup history. Also means I can plugin a
3rd drive occasionally to backup another mirror for offsite storage. And
I can just plugin bigger drives when I need/as they get more
affordable.

My Dockstar also runs LMS and my Calibre ebook library via COPS. I
prefer this setup as it means I can have one tiny low powered device on
24/7 for all these tasks.
