+* rsync(1) e.g. To copy to another machine/partition etc you can do <tt> rsync -av --rsh="ssh" sourcedir destdir</tt>. Other options you might like to consider on rsync(1) command line are <tt>-l</tt> which keeps symlinks intact, <tt>-z</tt> which compresses the data (useful over slow links), and <tt>--delete</tt> which deletes files which exist on the destination but not the source (use with caution!!)
* rdiff-backup(1) - Python program to do differential backups using the rdiff command (uses the rsync protocol).
