I'd suggest this website: http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/
Particularly the part on 'Incremental backups with rsync'. I've used this sort of scheme to implement a nightly backup that I can retain for 30 days, using only a nominal amount of disk space beyond the first full backup. My backups run to a server with mirrored storage, so I have some redundancy; if you're planning to backup to external storage you may want to investigate tar/cpio instead of rsync (it will work much better for making external incremental backups, i.e. to optical or tape disks).
