[K12OSN] backup solution for K12

[Olle Niit]

I use some years now this script:
http://www.vvpk.vil.ee/linux/failid/varukoopia.sh
Just delete estonian comments and leave english comments.
with:
crontab -u root -e
command i wrote one additional line:
00 19 * * * /root/varukoopia
and server creates incremental backup every night at 19:00 from 
directory to directory specified in script varukoopia.sh

I found this script from LinuxFocus magazine some years ago. It's very 
easy and clever solution.
