I'd rsync my various servers into folders on the backup server and then take a ZFS snapshot after each rsync. This achieves something similar to what you'd get with rsnapshot, but with the advantage of being able to use the more advanced features of ZFS: end-to-end data verification and healing (bit rot detection), snapshots, zfs send/receive (quite useful for when you want to ship your backups offsite), compression, etc.</div>
