plbackitup
plbackitup is a simple Perl script for backing up directories/files to a tarball. It uses a flat file database for selecting what to backup, and features logging, excludes, email notification, FTP backup files, scp files, and removing old tarballs in the backup directory. It can be run as a cron job or manually.

... its a great script for backups to a remote server (per ftp, ssh) or local. Its working now for about half year without any problems.
Great work.
Forgot to uncoment a line
Sorry to all who download the old v0.3 file, I forgot to uncomment one of the lines that actually "deleted" the old files. The fixed version is now available on the server.
