Yeah, give borg a look. It's just faster to back up, faster to delete old backups, and just easier to do restores because so long as you have the appropriate credentials you can list the archive from any machine.
I think there's still a place/use for --link-dst and hardlinks, but as a backup system I think borg does it better.
