One annoying thing with backup is that it takes time. I use a rsync script with the options
--backup and --backup-dir to do incremental backups. I've added it to my /etc/rc0.d directory
so that it is executed at shutdown, I can let the script run, backup my local data and remote
server data and it shutdowns nicely when all is done.
