Retrospect is really the standard.
You want to do scheduled incremental Backup. In addition to only backing up changed files, it is also keeping every version ever backed up, so you can track back to earlier versions of files if you need to.(and retrieve the state of a file from any given date, whether the file had changed on that date or not).
Sometimes you'll want to do a scheduled Duplicate instead of backup. I do a daily scheduled duplicate of the state of the Microsoft Office mail database from my laptop(not an incremental Backup as it would store every version of the file which changed every day, and the file is already over a GB). (Why does Microsoft have to put all the bloody mail in one file?!)
