It will also encrypt the backup, which you will want to do if you are uploading payroll files to a third party.. Also, backupninja is an excellent frontend and framework around rdiff-backup, duplicity, and other similar backup methods. Especially for rdiff-backup it has a wizard that can get a backup set up in minutes. And it unifies the backups with one interface and cron job and automates everything nicely. Highly recommended. -- see shy jo
