<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi, I use rsync too to backup,
currently as:<br>
<br>
rsync -r -t -p -o -g <br>
--delete<br>
--modify-window=1<br>
-s --stats<br>
--exclude-from=/home/simon/.grsync/exclude-these-files<br>
/home/simon/ /media/0433-2DED/Backup_of_Crunchbang<br>
<br>
Also grsync provides a GUI to rsync which helps with deciding the
options.<br>

I think I would opt for using rsync and a @weekly crontab
entry. I’d<br>
probably put the rsync commands in a shell script and call
that via<br>
cron, as opposed to calling the rsync command directly.<br>
<br>
Can you tell us more about your Debian install? Is it
headless, or is<br>
it running a desktop environment? If it’s the latter, I’m
sure there<br>
are some nice GUI solutions available these days.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
