If you run a backup using regular rsync, you get a new copy each month replacing the previous copy. Backintime style rsync can give you a copy for every month. You can look at the disk from last year to find that file you accidentally deleted months ago.
This is for Ext4 to Ext4. The first snapshot copies everything. The subsequent copies are fast and copy only changed files. Unchanged files are just links. You can look at any snapshot and see the disk exactly as it was at that time. After the first big slow snapshot, you could run a snapshot every week or every day without using much time or additional space.
