[Leaplist] backup application

For years I have been using Dirvish.  I am curious what else is being used for 
network backups of predominately GNU/Linux hosts?

The only thing I really wish I had was differential storage.  Traditional Unix 
hardlinks is what Dirvish uses via options to `rsync`.  I wish you could save 
the network deltas Dirvish sends.  Maybe snapshotting the LVM LV every day?

Anyone have `rsync` successfully copying extended filesystem attributes?  I 
have a Samba install configured to use extended attrs for the DOS attribute 
flags, instead of allowing it to abuse the filesystem permissions.
