[Klug-general] Slick CLI entry for incremental backup?

[Michael E. Rentell]

Good morning all,

I keep an exact copy of my data files (all of /home/mick - including all 
the hidden dot files) on my old machine which is networked under NFS. 
Seems to work but takes a long time.

I use Mandriva 2008 (2009 yukky) but the backup software provided isn't 
for me (actually I'm baffled by the compression etc).

Is there a single CLI entry I can put into a konsole which will take 
every file in /home/mick and copy it to /mnt/backups (which is the 
networked drive on the other machine) but actually copy over and 
overwrite only files which have changed?

Doing a complete backup takes hours (lotta data) but most actually 
hasn't changed.

Any ideas gratefully received.
