We currently have just one FreeBSD 4.5 server. I would like to create backup scripts so that incremental backups will run daily, full backups will run once a week and a log file will be generated. Could anyone please point me to a good resource on creating backup scripts using either tar or dump? I've looked into using Amanda but it seems like overkill since I just need to backup one server.
