I would say just do incremental backups every night. There are many tools, rsync being the most commonly used. If you use LVM, you could also try taking LVM snapshots. I personally use rsnapshot, a wrapper around rsync, to back up every night. So far it has saved me countless times. GL -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
