I have around 10 systems to play with and to back them up i use a dedicated machine (specs don't matter, it's only on when doing a backup) which copies important directories (like /etc /home /var) with rsync. It does either a complete backup or only copies changed files into a new directory and hard links the files which didnt't change since the last backup. It's here if you wanna have a look: backup with rsync
Most settings are hardcoded, but it can be easily adapted.
The stuff i really don't wanna lose is off site on optical media.
