Very minor nitpick, rsync can save older data, and put them in

before rdiff-backup i used to use rsync --backup --backup-dir=$date-

Thanks for that: I am guessing from the rsync man page though that it
isn't particularly careful to only store the differences and therefore
may take up more space?
Right, if a file has changed, it copies the unmodified file to --
backup-dir
then syncs the file. If a file hasn't changed, it doesn't get copied
to --backup-dir.
