a question of backup

[gabe]

I'm sure I cannot be the only one in this situation. The situation is that I 
have many gigs of mp3, photos and other stuff. I have these on my /home, 
naturally. I have an external hard drive that I would like the contents 
backed up on to, on an automagical basis.

I discovered the tool Konserve, which looked promising, however when it 
insists and creating one massive tarball on each backup it is unusable. Also 
it creates a new tarball on each backup run, the external drive is only large 
enough to hold about 1.5 of the full back ups.

Back in windows I used "Backup4All" and it would create a mirror backup every 
2 hours, only updating the modified, added/deleted files. Which is perfect, 
since I want the external drive to reflect the contents of /home.

Am I out of luck in this regard or is someone please able to point me to a 
program to solve my problems? I don't want to have to resort to using some 
kind of Wine configuration!

Gabe
