rsync incremental backup with support for detecting renamed files/folders
I have never used this tool (intending to try it but not got round to it), but rsync sidekick seems to be relevant.

What do you think is the most underrated project, in terms of GitHub stars?
https://github.com/m-manu/rsync-sidekick Run before rsync to find renamed files or directories and save time rsyncing (no, rsync doesn't do this well)

Correct way to backup?
rsync-sidekick should help with reorganized files, but I haven't used that myself yet. I did use hsync years ago to deal with moved files.

Any GUI file manager that writes changes as log of bash commands to apply later to mirrored disk?

Rsync-sidekick: Propagate file renames, movements and timestamp changes before rsync runs
I'm taking regular backups over the internet by using SSH+Rsync where the source files/directories are moved or renamed quite often and I didn't find any ultimate solution to avoid retransferring of the moved directories, so eventually I made a Python+Bash script which is also meant to be executed before the actual Rsync. I used this: http://www.pkrc.net/detect-inode-moves.html as a baseline, but I did some significant changes and improvements to that. You can find my scripts from here: https://github.com/wapsi/smart-rsync-backup That works for me very well. But of course, it's optimized for my needs and it tracks unique inode numbers of the files to detect the actual moves so there are most probably circumstances where that approach does not work at all.
