Even better, use backuppc: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ which can
use tar, smb, or rsync to perform the backups, then uses compression and
hardlinking to eliminate duplication and keep about 10x the backup
history that you'd expect in a given amount of space. Plus it provides
a nice web interface to browse backups and restore files.
