José, To recap, you have something like this:
- backup to external hard drive - ~75 GB in /home - can be stored unencrypted and uncompressed (I would recommend compression only when your storage medium will no longer fit it uncompressed) - needs to be accessible right away In that case, I'd recommend rsync. It will easily work between two local directories. You can mount your external hard drive at /backups (or something like that) and then just periodically rsync your /home to it. I used the "Easy Automated Snapshot-Style Backups with Linux and Rsync" document as a starting point: http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/ I just made some minor tweaks to suit my particular configuration.
