Obackup will work well to backup to a snapshot aware filesystem like ZFS or btrfs.
In case you don't work with one of these, it may also rotate backups for you.
Obackup can execute local and remote commands before and after backup execution, thus providing possibilites to handle snapshots (see https://github.com/deajan/zsnap for a zfs snapshot management script).
As of today, obackup has been tested successfully on RHEL / CentOS 5, CentOS 6, Debian 6.0.7 and Linux Mint 14
but should basically run on your favorite linux flavor. It relies on well known programs like rsync, ssh, mysqldump along
with other great GNU coreutils.

Project is customizable, and one can easily modify its code as it weights only 1 KLOC. Obackup is distributed under BSD Licence which gives most freedom to include it in your own code.
Feel free to drop me a mail for limited support in my free time.
