  1. I use backup2l on Backing Up is Hard to Do? · · Score: 1
    to back up selected files to a different hard disk. It is a bash
    script. It allows specifying directories to backup and exceptions
    using the find(1) syntax. It does incremental backups. It uses
    split to break up your file into CD-sized chunks for burning onto
    CDs. It can use gzip/bzip2 and afio and/or GPG. But most importantly,
    restore WORKS! It is as simple as
    cd /tmp
    /usr/sbin/backup2l -l etc/passwd # to locate
    /usr/sbin/backup2l -r etc/passwd # to restore
