Rsync is just not great if you want to go back in time,
Rich, rsync is great for incremental backups, so you can have as
many increments as you like, allowing you to go back in time to
any point where you ran rsync.

See my tips on rsync:
     - http://bristle.com/Tips/Unix.htm#rsync

or there's rdiff-backup which does much of it for you, though you do have to have the full backup online for the incrementals to work.
