Try backup2l. Very simple backup script that automates this for you and
makes incremental daily backups.
I recommend rdiff-backup. It does incremental backups. It is easy to use
and has powerful statistics displaying functions. I personally use it.
It is in the repository so easy to install. There is detailed document and
sample commands on its Website http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/
