Two packages: there is also rsnapshot:

#    Summary     : backup programm using hardlinks
#    Description :
#    rsnapshot is a filesystem snapshot utility for making backups of 
#    local and remote systems. Using rsync and hard links, it is possible 
#    to keep multiple, full backups instantly available. The disk space 
#    required is just a little more than the space of one full backup, 
#    plus incrementals. Depending on your configuration, it is quite 
#    possible to set up in just a few minutes. Files can be restored by 
#    the users who own them, without the root user getting involved. There 
#    are no tapes to change, so once it's set up, you may never need to 
#    think about it again.

Right now, I don't know the difference between rsnapshot and rdiff-backup
