What software do you suggest for doing this? That is what is foremost on my mind at this stage.
Hi Stan,
I've had good luck with rdiff-backup. It's in the main SuSE repository and is easy to install. I've used it both for disk-to-disk backups on the same machine and for remote-server pulls using ssh. I've even used it for backing up Windows boxes using smbfs to mount their exported "folders", then rdiff-backup to a local hard disk. Runs fine from cron.

Another neat feature is that as long as you keep doing the differential backups (don't start over), you can restore any file to its state a/o any backup date. Really useful if you clobber a file and don't notice it for a couple of backups.
