Hi.For MySQL I would download and install MySQL Workbench.You can setup backups and if I'm not wrong,you can schedule them as well.You can create a dump file and save it on your hard drive. Then you can use Easy Backup (or any other backup programs) to copy/move the backup files to a different drive.Usually those backup software allows you to do incremental or differential backups. Your friend should look in the repository for his flavour of Linux.No need to create any script or to learn cron or any other language :-) Michele.
