Rsync
I do the same thing on a samba server.
Google it for the options you want to use.

Rivendell to start thinking about backups.
I know this may not be the most common way, but we have our reasons, and
I'd like to duplicate this behavior if I can:
Our current automation system [MS-DOS based] contains two non-raid, but
mirrored hard drives. On a schedule that we specify, it copies the new
files, deletes the obsolete ones, etc.
Is there a way I can do this with Rivendell? Again, I realize most people
are probably using a central server with a redundant server to house all
station audio, clocks, etc, but I am comfortable with the way we are set up
now. Besides we have quite a few stations spread out, so a central file
store wouldn't work anyway in most of our cases.
With my very limited knowledge of linux, I thought perhaps running dd with
chron might be the ticket, but coming from a Windows guy, I don't know how
linux behaves when attempting to copy files in use.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Oh, and all my Rivendell installs are/will be based on the Paravel
Appliances. I have one V1 appliance in the field now, and currently
working on my first V2.

PS We actually had a hard drive die this past Saturday on one of our DOS
stations. I just simply powered down, unlocked the bad drive from its
removable cage, powered back up, and we were back in business.
