I don't think so. The closest thing I know of is rsnapshot
(http://www.rsnapshot.org/).=20

My solution is to run rsync in a cron job. In my situation this takes
about 5 minutes for approximately 100GB of data. The time it takes will
obviously depend on the rate of change in the data.

You could also use local snapshots with mksnap_ffs(8), to solve the "oh
shit I deleted my files" situation.
