Dirvish [0] is worth looking at, light-weight and providing a good set of functionality (rotation, incremental backups, retention, pre/post scripts). It is a scripted wrapper around rsync [1] so you profit from all that functionality too (remote backups, compression for limited links, metadata/xattr support, various sync criteria, etc.)

This has been a lifesaver for 20+ years, thanks to JW Schultz!

The questions/topics in the article go really well along with it.
