This is what I do to copy my home directory nightly to a USB hard
disk...
Run -> sudo crontab -e
to open roots cron
Add this line:
* 2 * * * rsync -av --delete --update /home /media/usbdisk
Change your output direcotry, close the file, and your done. Been
working fine for almost a year, and I had restore my files from backup
once.
It backups nightly at 2 AM copying only files that changed and deleting
any files that have been deleted in /home that day.
