It's called rsnapshot...

It does exactly this, but it allows you to specify different generations of snapshots to keep. Works pretty well. It is not nearly as elegant as true filesystem-level snapshots, but quite usable on linux machines. I run rsnapshot on my linux cluster and on my MacBook Pro. The cluster goes over the network to another NAS and my Mac goes to an external firewire drive. No problems, but I don't use ACLs on the mac.
