rsnapshots looks very neat, yes.
I do tape backups, myself, so I'll stay with AMANDA. On a side note,
aside from it's braindead handling of ports (why one TCP connection
doesn't suffice is beyond me), AMANDA is a very good piece of software.
I wouldn't recommend it for disk-based backups, though - like many
alternatives, it's strongly biased towards tapes.
rsnapshot, on the other hand, understands at least a little of the
difference between disk and tape (i.e. tape is cheap, disk is
random-access).
