hi all,
 I am trying to take backup of configuration files in the server.
 I am now using tar command for taking backup
  tar zcvf `date +%d%b%Y`vpopmail.tar.gz /home/vpopmail 
 I am taking the full backup of conf files.
 I want to implement diff/incremental (both have their own advantages/disadv)
 Please give me suggestions for implementing the backup script 
 Thanks in advance
 karthik.
