It has the normal rsync flaws, but at least it does versioning in a way that my 80+ yr old mother could understand (RIP). If you really, really, want a GUI, and want to use rsync with hardlinking of different versions, use 'Back-in-Time'. Older backups can manually be created too, but it is easier to ask rdiff-backup to restore a file or directory or entire set from 23 days ago. Also, rdiff-backup's command looks much like an rsync command and the most recent backup set is just like an rsync mirror, so to get the most recent files back is just a copy or a recursive copy or. For about a decade, I've been using rdiff-backup, which handles the short-comings that rsync+hardlinks has. Some don't because automation with a GUI is next to impossible for the middle of the night. Many excellent backup tools exist, some have GUIs. rsync + hardlinking can get to 80% of what a good backup tool does, but it doesn't provide versioning as owner, group, permissions, xattrs and ACLs change over time, which a better backup too handles. IMHO, rsync isn't really sufficient for backups, at least not alone for a number of reasons. If you use rsync, you would create a 2-3 line script that does what you want and you can 100% automate what it does.
