Backup tools

I was investigating backing up track when I came across some useful tools. First is backupninja, which allows you to take a backup of lots of different applications such as databases whilst they’re running.
More interesting to me was rdiff-backup, at http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/ rdiff-backup basically performs an rsync mirroring (it uses librsync), but actually performs an incremental backup allowing you to restore older versions of files, and has some other nice features as well.
