Hi Cormac,

Here's one I used to use a lot:

http://weird.ie/files/backup.phps

You can cron it to run every night, best to use nice also to stop gzip murdering the server.

One thing to note, if you have a directory you want to backup as 1 tar.gz then put in "/path/to/folder/". If you want to backup files or folders seperately within a directory then appened a * after the last slash. There's a few examples in the file.

I also used to have it scp the files to another box when it was done. Rather handy, but very simple.
