You might also look into rdiff-backup. It has an advantage for remote
backups as it stores metadata separately (and so you can write
somewhere you don't have root, or even to weird filesystems which don't
understand acls (or even permissions).

We also have newer entry in Fedora, ZBackup, which does deduplication,
too. I haven't used it, but it looks promising.
