IT teams in need of a file system snapshot utility solution
About rsnapshot
rsnapshot makes it easy to make periodic snapshots of local machines, and remote machines over ssh. The code makes extensive use of hard links whenever possible, to greatly reduce the disk space required. Depending on your configuration, it is quite possible to set up in just a few minutes. Files can be restored by the users who own them, without the root user getting involved. There are no tapes to change, so once it’s set up, your backups can happen automatically untouched by human hands. And because rsnapshot only keeps a fixed (but configurable) number of snapshots, the amount of disk space used will not continuously grow. It is written entirely in perl with no module dependencies and has been tested with versions 5.004 through 5.16.3. It should work on any reasonably modern UNIX compatible OS.

Yandex Cloud Backup
Yandex Cloud Backup allows you to save application data and ensure its integrity by using the Cloud Backup agent in the guest OS. Restore individual files from backups to the appropriate directory of the current version of the VM. Configure virtual machine backup policies for the entire cloud using the console. Apply these policies when configuring VMs. All backup operations are performed in the cloud; you only need to establish and apply policies to the required virtual machines. Unlike a disk snapshot, the service creates a copy of all virtual machine disks, including network SSDs and HDDs, non-replicated disks, and dedicated host local disks. When restoring the previous state of the current virtual machine is impossible, you can restore its backup to a new virtual machine.

Timeshift
Timeshift for Linux is an application that provides functionality similar to the System Restore feature in Windows and the Time Machine tool in Mac OS. Timeshift protects your system by taking incremental snapshots of the file system at regular intervals. These snapshots can be restored at a later date to undo all changes to the system. In RSYNC mode, snapshots are taken using rsync and hard links. Common files are shared between snapshots which save disk space. Each snapshot is a full system backup that can be browsed with a file manager. Timeshift is similar to applications like rsnapshot, BackInTime and TimeVault but with different goals. It is designed to protect only system files and settings. User files such as documents, pictures and music are excluded. This ensures that your files remain unchanged when you restore your system to an earlier date.
