I like the script at: http://www.bluehaze.com.au/unix/cdbkup.html
It's configured to split the archives into CD sized files, but this is easy to change. It supports incremental backups, gzip/bz2 compression, etc...

I know this is probably not the best way of doing it. Is anyone using another method (cpio,dump etc) and which do you prefer and why? Any examples of scripts using these methods would be helpful as well. I would like to make daily backups of only the files that were changed, and then make a full backup over the weekend. Is this a sufficient way of doing backups? Richard Humphrey System Administrator Multicam L.P.
