I thought about something like rdiff-backup. Every time I do backup, it 
creates a bunch of diffs. Every week I could run something like this:

rdiff-backup --remove-older-than 1W host.net::/remote-dir

and it would delete diffs older then one week. This would keep one copy 
of data and one week of changes. However, I have to script it by myself, 
whereas bacula comes with nice console, automation etc. Is it possible 
to make bacula behave similarly?
