Which other disk backup solution do you recommend other than Clonezilla?

My method requires that the drives be plugged in at all times, but it's completely automatic.
I use rsync from a central 'backups' container that pulls folders from other containers and machines. These are organized in
/BACKUPS/(machine/container)_hostname/...
The
/BACKUPS/
folder is then pushed to an offsite container I have sitting at a friends place across town.For example, I backup my home folder on my desktop which looks like this on the backup container
/BACKUPS/Machine_Apollo/home/dork/
This setup is not impervious to bitflips a far as I'm aware (it has never happened). If a bit flip happens upstream, it will be pushed to backups and become irrecoverable.
