To me the simplest way is to use cp -ru to copy recursively only the files
that have been modified since the last backup. You make a
plain ascii list of things you want to backup and you put something like


# backup files modified files only, at 1:50 am every day.
50 1 * * * root /bin/cp -ru `cat /root/.backuplist` /net/backup

in /etc/crontab. Of course, the destination /net/backup can be local or
remote, via nfs. Works like a charm. The key is the -u flag in cp. Very
handy.
