the rdiff handler uses rdiff-backup to make remote, incremental backups of the filesystem.
the ninjahelper is good at creating initial .rdiff files for you.
here is an example file, /etc/backup.d/action.rdiff:
######################################################
## source section
## (where the files to be backed up are coming from)
[source]
# an optional subdirectory below 'directory' (see [dest])
label = thishostname
# only local type is currently supported
type = local
# how many days of data to keep
keep = 185
# files to include in the backup
# (supports globbing with '*')
include = /var/spool/cron/crontabs
include = /var/backups
include = /etc
include = /root
include = /home
include = /usr/local/bin
include = /usr/local/sbin
include = /var/lib/dpkg/status
include = /var/lib/dpkg/status-old
# files to exclude from the backup
# (supports globbing with '*')
#exclude = /home/*/.gnupg
######################################################
## destination section
## (where the files are copied to)
[dest]
# remote or local? If local, you dont need to specify a host below
type = remote
# the machine which will receive the backups
host = backuphost
# put the backups under this directory
directory = /backups
# make the files owned by this user
# note: you must be able to ssh backupuser@backhost
# without specifying a password
user = backupuser
