Backing up data on Linux and Unix is a beautiful thing. It's beauti
       everything that you ever need is at the command line and can be eas
       and put in cron jobs.
       
       On my systems I basically use two things; tar and rsync. Sometimes 
       whole disc clones using Clonezilla.  Clonezilla is a live CD distro
       self explanitory when you run it.  Just make sure your destination 
       big or bigger than the source disc.  Clonezilla takes care of every
       for you, it even backs up NTFS partitions.  I don't see the need to
       further.  There is plenty of documentation about it out there if yo
       a disc cloning program before.
       
       Anyway, below I put some files about using tar and rsync.  I'll add
       content in the future if need be.
