Hy Stu!

I make backups with raqbackups for small-sites. This is a great tool for 
ackup with the use of the cmu-tool.
You can find it at http://www.neuhausinternet.de/cobalt/raqbackup/

For big-Sites (my bigest site has 1.6mio files and a big mysql-db) is 
backuped with rsnapshot-tool.
This only stores the differences from the daily-backups and I store 5 
daily, 4 weekly and 12 months without
duplicates of files. The full-backup is about 200GB and all other 
backups only between 5-10GB.

With raqbackup always the complete space is needed and the time for the 
backup grows too much for big sites.
