Other solution
Authored by: germ on May 17, '04 03:40:03PM

I have a similar solution, but simpler (IMHO).
First, I do not want my backup stored in a compressed format. I want it exactly as my home folder looks like.
Second, I do not want to copy the whole home folder each time (yes, my home folder is big).
I use psync, which does the job nicely. I have written a very simple shell script that calls psync for each folder I want to backup and execute it at night through a cron job. In only takes a few minutes every night because I backup on a second hard drive (very fast and convenient).
