Obviously the first choice is zfs snapshots but if you're like me,
that's not a choice.

I'd recommend something like borg backup:
https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/
http://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

It's a python written app that will dedup your data so there's a
chance it can compress and dedup your large datasets very nicely.

The maintainer is very active with keeping it current and 1.0.3 is
available in ports/pkg:
http://www.freshports.org/archivers/py-borgbackup/

As you will see in the documentation, you can make a script and call
it with cron however often/irregular you would like and have it also
prune.

I think it's worth trying out for your use case.
