Just throwing it out there:

I've really enjoyed having this setup on a cronjob to do daily backups
to a dedicated filesystem on my laptop.  It's purpose, in my use case,
is to let me recover from cases where I accidentally delete something
and easily want it back.  

This uses rsync at its core to do versioned backups, but this script
makes it more user-friendly and easier to setup and trust.

For long-term and more durable backups, I use rsync, cp or even
clonezilla to offline storage.
