But I'd like to know what technologies (for lack of a better word) do you utilize to do the snapshoting?
I use rsync as the main engine to do the heavy lifting. I use a cron job to run the backup as often as I want. There are other snapshot backup utilities, scripts, procedures, etc, out on the web. Google for snapshot.
The key is to use a disk drive as the destination, and to not use anything that compresses or in any way molests the files. You want to be able to have an "end user" type simple point, click and copy a backup file to whereever it needs to go without uncompressing or in any other way manipulate the "backup" before its useable.
