If you don't mind playing around in terminal you should look into the
rsync command. Generally, to backup anything that changed since the last
backup you would do
rsync -a ~/Documents /some/place/you/want/backups/stored
It also sometimes happens that you might have deleted a file in your
Documents folder but it still lives on in your backups. If you want
rsync to remove deleted files you have to add the --delete parameter.
rsync -a --delete ~/Documents /some/place/you/want/backups/stored
There is a much newer version of rsync that you can install with
macports or the like which is faster but the baked-in one will work as well.

Hello everyone,
I am reading through the Super Duper manual, but with little success of
understanding how to create a script.
Basically, I want to set a script, which when selected will only smart copy my
"documents" folder.
I am aware that I need to first select my "backup" script as the primary item I want to
manipulate (insuring this item is "ignored")
Then I need to add the "documents" folder as the item I want copied.
I am not sure if this understanding I have gleamed is correct.
If anyone has had experience with this I would greatly appreciate help in
increasing my understanding...
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
