It's no trouble.  Yes it has been discussed, however, there's a tool 
that I use that works fantastic.  It's called rsnapshot (rsnapshot.org) 
and they do have RPMs available for install if it isn't in extras.  
Check it out and I"ll be happy to help you off-list if you need it.  We 
use it to backup data to our SAN.
