I'm currently in the process of rewriting the script and such so that 
there is not so much manual input.  If I succeed, the script should be 
quite portable across similar setups, but for now, you're going to have 
to change many of the path names to how they apply to you.

The documentation is in the file backup.html which I've attached, and 
then the script which accompanies it is in the file backup-slash-fs.

If I get the new version completed in a reasonable amount of time, I'll 
repost that one too, but I'm not making any promises.
