Generally I have relied on the separate partitioning of my /home

through pebkac-type activities, but this is not necessarily the most
reliable of options and certainly won't help in the case of a
catastrophic HDD-failure.
Thus, can I please have a few recommendations for a backup routine
that is safe for dummies (i.e. me) and is low maintenance that I can
just leave to run according to a cron job once (or twice) a week? It
would be backing up to my former IDE HDD (now in an enclosure) via an
USB. It would be best if the application was able to tell what has
changed between backup sessions to back up only that which is new, but
perhaps that is the default anyway.
Any recommendations please?

Dear all
Thanks for the many suggestions of applications and approaches. The
next step for me is to take each one and do some further research and
make a decision.
If it would be useful, I'm happy to post back once I've done so and
experimented with some test data.
Many thanks one and all.
Best
AG
