I have a "goback" utility for my Linux machines.  It's a 300 GB USB2
drive and rdiff-backup. :)

You could do a similar thing to GoBack with any recent Linux kernel and
inotify, actually.

Create a series of snapshot directories that contain copies of every
file.  Use inotify to watch all changes.  Every 15 minutes update the
snapshots with the changed files.

Or you might be able to hook it into rdiff-backup or something like it,
to update only the changed files every 15 minutes, without needing to do
full disk scans to find the changes.
