Try something like this..
Create a bash script
with something like (may need some serious tweaking.. my bash skills are
not very good)
$date=date
cp -R /home/folderx/ /mnt/backup/folderx.$date
something like that.. I'm lazy to look at my Cron script.. If you really
need more help than that, I can mail you my backup script.
(although I have serious issues on whether my script is a
incremental/differential backup... I've got to make a post on this to get my
facts right..)
