Mate you can get much more help from people here as long as you describe your needs very well, there are too many experts here (im just ordinary shell scripter!).
I have worked with some backup issues last months, let me give you some idea with some codes i wrote for production backup processes.
you can compress directories, files and move them from one path to another:
you can specify some types of files before you send, move them :
or you can even choose files which "modified earlier than 9 days" adding mtime and redirect them to another directory:
you can FTP the compressed files or do many things, its up to you, Besides you can schedule the backup scripts using Cron job. Keep searching in this forum, you will find many things usefull.

pdebuild-user-mode-linux
pdebuild-user-mode-linux(1) pbuilder pdebuild-user-mode-linux(1)NAME
pdebuild-user-mode-linux - pbuilder-user-mode-linux way of doing debuild
SYNOPSIS
pdebuild-user-mode-linux [pdebuild-user-mode-linux options] -- [pbuilder-user-mode-linux options]
DESCRIPTION
A convenience program for pbuilder-user-mode-linux which invokes pbuilder after obtaining appropriate root privilege in a Debian source
directory. One must be inside the source tree containing the debian directory, in order to make it work.
PDEBUILD OPTIONS --buildsourceroot [fakeroot]
The command used to gain root privilege for invoking dpkg-buildpackage
--auto-debsign
Invoke debsign at the end of pdebuild process.
--debsign-k [key-id]
Pass -k option to debsign to specify which keyid to sign.
--buildresult [Directory for build results]
The place which build result is stored.
--configfile [Extra config file to use]
The configuration file is used, but not passed on to pbuilder-user-mode-linux.
--debbuildopts [options to pass to dpkg-buildpackage]
The space-delimited list of options are passed to dpkg-buildpackage. This option appends to pbuilder option --debbuildopts and may
also be used to reset the list of options by passing the empty string.
--use-pdebuild-internal
Uses a different implementation of pdebuild, which calls clean and build inside the chroot, using bind-mounts.
pdebuild-internal tries to run debian/rules clean inside the chroot. To achieve the goal, the working directory is passed on inside
the chroot, in the form of bind-mounting and debuild is run.
This option will not protect the working directory and its parent directories from the build scripts.
-- [pbuilder options]
After the -- symbol, an arbitrary number of pbuilder options can be specified. See pbuilder-user-mode-linux.1 for full list of
options.
There is an exception that --buildresult needs to be specified as pdebuild option before the -- to be effective.
