That looks too basic for me and tried to installed attic but it
fails near the end - so that one is out.
Ah, well, your loss. Appearances can be deceiving and it seems that
you're willing to take something on face value and not try it for
yourself. I don't think you even read my whole document because I
described in detail what rdiff-backup can do, right from its website,
and it can do everything you've been asking others about and much
more.
Not sure why attic failed for you; I built it from source here just
fine.
Installed it the other way and found out the problem - missing python3 headers.
Now installed but without any docs - seems .pyc files missing.
My system has two versions of python installed 2.7 fully (ish) and 3.4 named as
python3.4 or python3.4m .
Next is to read your post regarding. The idea is to back up the entire Mageia / directory but without the contents of /mnt, /proc, /dev etc.
