Take a look at rsync.
Here's a short script I wrote for backing up a system to a USB drive.
It's not pretty but it works.
#!/bin/sh
export PATH=$PATH:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
LIST="/"
SPARDISK="/dev/sdb1"
EXCLUDE1="/media"
EXCLUDE2="/var/run"
MOUNT="/media/sdb1"
i=`/sbin/lsusb | grep Iomega`
if [ x"$i" = x ] ;
then
echo "Please plug in the external USB drive"
else
for d in $LIST; do
mount $SPAREDISK $MOUNT
rsync -ax --exclude $EXCLUDE1 --exclude $EXCLUDE2 $LIST $MOUNT
umount $MOUNT
done
fi
