I recently evaluated a few backup solutions and dismissed solutions that
required me to manually edit cron simply for the fact that if I ever
upgrade or change my system I'll just forget to add the cron job.

I wanted something that was no nonsese so it needed to be packaged,
simple to use and simple to recreate.

I found a good solution in Sbackup, you can read about my evaluations
