I've found that backup2l is a good backup routine.

I'm trying to have my server (Mandrake 10.1) run a backup each night to
CD-R. What I would like to do is put each night's backup in a directory
labeled with the date. All of the how to's I've found describe how to
write a full CD from the command prompt, but not something like I want
to do. Also (showing just how new I am to Linux) I need some help
setting up a script to run each night - I know it can be done, I'm just
not sure how to go about it.
How to run a script:
As root type crontab -e
Press the i-key to enter insert mode,
Then enter the job you want to run as:
Minute Hour Day Month DayOfWeek Command
Once you are done with that press the escape button.
Then type
:wq
followed by enter and you've now set up a job to run when you say to.
