Okay, so this is an old thread from last month.  Well, I finally have 
something to show for it.  I was, at first, embarrassed that my shell 
script wasn't worth sharing, mostly because it was primitive and not at 
all portable.

I revisited the question and wrote a whole new shell script for 
automated backups that is generally useful and, I believe, portable.  If 
nothing else, it is pretty robust for my first attempt at a good shell 
script.  I've decided to publish it and share.  :)
