Just write a script to copy all your files to the backup drive.
You could use cp, or rsync. I use scp from about four linux machines to a
fifth, each script called from crontab at a variety of early morning times.
Depending on the data size you can call mkisofs from cron, and produce a
file ready for burning at your convenience.
Unfortunately I've got this much data...

Subject: backups
I was looking for suggstions for a backup utility
I'm waning to .tar file onto a second "backup harddrive", via a daily cron
job, and archive to CD every couple of weeks
previously on Mandrake I used Drakebackup whhich was easy to use (but a bit
tempermental)
I have had a look at a few others, Kbackup which is installed on this
distro-
but seems a bit difficult to set up
Has anyone got favourites??
