For a cheap solution if you know a bit of scripting, glastree works
fine: http://www.igmus.org/code/

I have been backing up multiple systems including MacOSX with it for
many years. I run rsync jobs to sync to my backup server nightly and
then prune the tree weekly. It is similar to timeshift in it creates
hardlinks for files which have not changed. You have a complete
snapshot which is browseable using standard Linux tools.
