What are you backing up to, another hard disk, a tape drive, CDs? Is the
data on the local machine, another machine on the same network or on a
remote machine via the net?
The email of what was done is easy, your backup tool depends on how much
money you want to pay and the sophistication you need. I use rsync to a
disk drive on another machine and then go to tape from there.
