Sitecopy (or xsitecopy if you want a nice GUI) is what you want. While
it doesn't directly have a scheduling option, you can run it as a cron
job.

[SLUG] Linux Certification

[Andrew Burton]

Hi all,

I noticed that there were some study groups set up a while ago for LPI 
certification; I'm wondering whether to get certified by LPI, or to go with 
SAIR, which also do a certification course. Does anyone know which is more 
'authentic', or more widely recognised - I'm guessing it's the LPI, given 
the sponsorship by IBM and SuSE amongst others.

I've just started looking into it, and it's confusing having different 
vendors offering different tests.

Andrew
