[Cave Crickett]

Thanks for posting your perl script.  I'll dig into your scripts soon. 

I though I might post my current scripts too.  They are just BASH scripts.  
http://collegemarket.org/greg/backup_one.sh.txt
http://collegemarket.org/greg/example_backup_all.sh.txt

Here is a brief description of each script:

backup_one.sh
This is a single case execution of my backup script
This requires that SSH passwordless entry is setup
If no arguments are passed it gives the help
You have to pass it several arguments to have it run.  
  sshuser - username for remote host
  sshhost - remote hostname or IP address
  srcdir  - source directory (remost host path)
  destdir - destination directory (local host path)
  uselist - (y/n) to use include list.  Still need source dir
  listfile - filename of include-file

example_backup_all.sh
This is where you call the backup_one.sh script with the specific
arguments for a directory / subdirectories to backup.
You call the backup_one.sh for each section on each host you want backed up.
This logs the events
If you put this script in your daily cron it will also log the events in cron
If you put a .forward in /root you will be emailed the cron log of the
backup each day.
Now just watch for errors.

Im am very new at this stuff.  I would love for someone to help and
make this more generic and robust.  Please feel free to submit changes
and modifications for this script.  Also if you find this useful, feel
free to use this.  Just give me credit for my parts.  You will see
where I have done the same for others.
