Hi Jan, 
For a (Linux) greenhorn / newbie it's always difficult to 
get to the most suitable stuff !? ;-)

As for Backup I got across cp, dd, duplicity, rsync, tar ...
... and now you mention 2 more with rsnapshot and rdiff-backup !! ;-))

How do I get the best of it without experimenting and try out all of
them ???

Out from 2 good friends / sources I got recommended rsync & tar and 
with its features I decided for rsync until another Ubuntu User pointed
to 
Duplicity with its improved incremental feature/s !!!

Your answer is just crossing with my answer to you & Olivier:
I will reply to my own post since I have gotta one more question.

Cheers, svobi
