I need to set up some sort of automated backup on a couple Gentoo
machines (typical desktop software development and home use). One of
them used rsnapshot in the past but the crontab entries that drove
that have vanished :/ (presumably during a reinstall or upgrade --
IIRC, it took a fair bit of trial and error to get the crontab entries
figured out).
I believe rsnapshot ran nightly and kept daily snapshots for a week,
weekly snapshots for a month, and monthly snapshots for a couple
years.
Are there other backup solutions that people would like to suggest I
look at to replace rsnapshot? I was happy enough with rsnapshot (when
it was running), but perhaps there's something else I should consider?

I use restic [1] with the S3 backend. It manages snapshots and supports
several backends. It is way faster than the previous backup solution
I've used (dejadup).
It came handy several times when I had to restore a specific file from a
point in time.
