I'm looking for both a version control system and backup system.

I recommend git for versioning and bup [1] for backup.

Bazaar also looks like a possible option, but I'm not sure it handles
drive usage better.  Their website has a lengthy manifesto about how
they're better than Git, but I don't have enough experience with either
to make an informed decision.

Scott Chacon maintains this page [2] that compares Git with other
versioning systems. From my personal experience, I find Bazaar to be
quite horrible and slow. Mercurial is user-friendly, but nowhere near
Git in terms of speed, power, and size.
