Well, I want to start off making a small script.  Maybe get a little 
more complicated later on.  I do want to do incremental backups, at 
least at first.  I may later on use tar and something to keep say two 
copies and then delete the older ones. 

Just trying to get my feet wet here.  Trying to be simple at first and 
go from there.  If I try to cram to much in my head at one time, I get 
brain lock.

Thanks.
