Assuming you're making backups with dd or tar, zip etc, you might want to
look into using rsync instead:

- its faster because it does the minimum work needed to bring your last
  backup up to date

- its more flexable because its copying files and directories into a
  backup filing system which gives you direct access, should you need it,
  to individual files on the backup volume and recovery to a differently
  sized disk partition is a lot easier than doing so from a backup made
  with dd.
