You might also want to look at rsnapshot. It's a script that uses rsync 
for backup purposes. I use it successfully for quite a while now. Just 
tell the script what folders to backup. You can also use plugin scripts, 
e.g. for creating mysql backups.
The best is that it stores each run in a folder structure that allows 
you to easily recovers individual files but hardlinks identical copies 
of files between backups so that you only store files that differ.
