Right, I was quite sparse with details... I do mainly Linux stuff, and obnam looks nice and feature-packed enough to fit my current needs, I'll dig in to that

  To be honest, I had the same question last year, and wrote a short guide on how I (eventually) came to do backups [1]. Funny enough, I didn't even notice the topic article until today, which is kind of funny that I see it almost exactly a year later (only off by two days, really). Of course, this is very Linux centric, but it fits my needs and likewise allows me to rsync back anything on the backup at any time, even if I accidentally all of /bin/ or something equally stupid. Though now I've somewhat updated it (I use a fully encrypted system and set cryptsetup to use pass-files on the main disk for the backups in addition to a set password), but the fundamentals are all there.
