You can make a simple backup of it with this line
tar cvfz /home/httpd/html/backup/services.tar.gz /home/service/
we do it on this network 2 time's a day and 30 minutes later 
there start on anther server of the netwerk a script
mv /home/service/services.tar.gz /home/service/old_backup/
`date +%d-%m-%Y_%H-%M`.tar.gz
wget http://ww.nowheretogo.com/backup/services.tar.gz
first line copy's the old backup 
second line is getting new backup from the services server
