The lowest-tech way to do it would be to create more partitions,
then use dd every once in a while to copy the working partitions to
the backup partition.
For example, if your working / filesystem is /dev/hda1, and you want
to copy it to /dev/hda6 (and hda6 is at least as big as hda1), do this.
# dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/hda6 bs=64k
There are more complex, nicer solutions available, but to discuss them
we'd need to discuss what you want out of your backups.
