Yeah, we all usually use the cron tab to launch an executable script. I had a script that would backup and label the whole mud with the current date. it ran daily.
it was only about 6 lines long, too. I don't remember the lines now. It's been a long while since I had it written, and I've lost that file since I redid my whole linux box. Take a look at cron jobs and write up a short simple perl script and label the backups with the date. That way, u'll know exactly when the backup was done.

Not that it's complicated, but I'm sure most of you have that and it could be usefull to others. Thank Silfen
