I've been using dar (http://dar.linux.free.fr/) for a while now and
very happy with it. Works on the filesystem level, not on the block
device level, and does incremental backups, also of parts of your
filesystem and to a remote machine (through ssh for example).
Whether it is the best method for you, i can't answer.
