I wrote something close to this for linux.com last year:

http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/188266-beginners-guide-to-linux-desktops-backups-basic-strategies-and-tools

In case you wonder why that article says "this is the first article of
a three-part series on backups", but there are no links to the others:
Linux.com changed management just after publishing the first part and
then decided not to proceed with the series. So I put the second part,
which I had already written, on my own "tips&tricks" site:
