  - using CRON to do regular system back-ups to a separate partition, 
can be handy . . . something like :-
.....................

#!/bin/sh
#
# use rsync to backup / to /dev/hdb5
#
mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb5 /mnt_cron
# df
cd
rsync -avr --delete --delete-after --exclude=/media --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/mnt_cron --exclude=/proc --exclude=subdomain --exclude=/sys --exclude=/tmp / /mnt_cron
cd
# adjust fstab root-mount-point
cp /mnt_cron/etc/fstab.5Bbak /mnt_cron/etc/fstab
df
umount /mnt_cron

............................

have a Good Day
