Run a couple of cron jobs and scripts on the days in question, only tarring the information with the "tar" program provided in linux. That would be the easiest.

First let me tell you what I need to do then you all can tell me the best way to do it.... I'm running a server at work (SUSE LINUX 9.0), I'm doing work on it with a LAMP configuration PHP4.3.3. I would like to back up the server, Incremental ever night and then a full backup on the weekend. The things that I need backed up are.... /srv/www /home/..... Mysql Databases Subversion repositories (there are some built in python scripts that will dump out a backup file) I would use a program like modo/mindi to backup the stuff however the machine does not have a CD burner. I do have access to a 100 MB samba share on another machine in the BYU datacenter, and my second windows workstation (about 40GIG free). I think for what I need I'll have to do is some shell scripting... am I on the right track or totally off in left field..
