I recommend rdiff-backup.  The pros are many and it supports all the
features you discuss plus some.

The main con is that when something goes wrong, it generates a python
stack trace.  That can be fairly confusing to the non-programmer
users, but it is fairly stable so you will likely never have this
happen.

Also, it is CLI only, so if you want a nice gui to manage the process,
you are out of luck.

FYI: rdiff-backup basically works like rsync, but it also keeps
reverse deltas.  That way you can tell it to restore a current backup,
or you can tell it to get a older version.  The older version is
created internally by taking the current backup and applying revese
deltas sequentially.  I love the concept, I just wish it was more user
friendly over-all.
