Never one to miss an opportunity to plug my blog, I covered this topic a
while back, take a look here:
http://blogs.linux.ie/xeer/2004/06/02/easy-automated-snapshot-style-backups-with-rsync/
I was going to use a script but instead we're using Backuppc which does
the nice hard-linking stuff, and has also has a *great* web based GUI!
It currently backs up every 3 or 4 hours outside office hours, and keeps
about 7 days of incremental backups.
Donncha.
