I saw people has made many suggestions. But sooner or later, you might
run out of your HD space, and you might need to look for yet another tool
to solve the new problem.
I think the tool that will solve your problem and the new problem and many
more beyond the new problem is dar --
Dar stands for Disk ARchive. It is a GPL command line tool to backup a
directory tree and files.

I strongly recommend it!
