Another backup question

Today's task is to identify the best method for my backup needs. I want to
take a day's work and archive it into existing directories on a server diskA,
having first rsync'd server diskA and server diskB.
Part one - making a script to create the second generation backup onto diskB -
is not a big problem. What is a bigger problem is what to use for the second
part. Rsync does not seem to be the right tool for this. I don't want all
the older stuff copied back onto the workstation, I just want the new stuff
added to the archive. I'm mainly thinking of a photo archive.
I'm going to take a look at rdiff-backup, but would be interested to hear of
any other suggestions to follow up.
BTW, I'm 800ft above sea-level, and out of reach of katrina ;-), but I'd still
be burning CDs at regular intervals.
