If it's just the rotation part you need, you could handle that on the backup server side with a short script, copying the dailies into weekly folders, weeklies into monthly folders, etc.
I know, rolling a custom script is something some want to avoid, but this particular script would be very straight forward. I've been using this guy's strategy for years... http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/ ...and now that is rolled into a utility called rsnapshot (www.rsnapshot.org). In this case, you would only use to rotate, though, not actually back up.
