Why not rsnapshot? I've been using it to backup servers to servers for a lot years.

In my understanding, rsnapshot is equivalent of 'saf backup' which is only one bit of saf functionality. saf has few more commands to be able to see and analyze what's on the backup target side.

rsnapshot uses centralized rsnapshot.conf, saf has git style .saf.conf per each backup source location.

Apart from using rsync, there are more differences than similarities between rshapshot and saf.
