Backing up hobbit

[Josh Luthman]

I am trying to create a backup of hobbit so in case the box is stolen, blown
up, disappear, vanishes into thin air or even the boogey monster steals it,
I can recover with a secondary box in a matter of minutes - hours at most.

What I had done with BB was simply backup the entire user's home directory.
I had this done every single morning.  Each gzipped tar was a mere 15 megs.

When I do a du -shc /home/user it reaches 1021M and in
/home/user/server/bin/ du -shc core* I see 860M.  What are these core*
files?

Does anyone have any suggestions on what to backup?  I don't have the luxury
of using tapes or another machine on the same LAN, so I am transporting this
data over the Internet.  While bandwidth is not a concern, I'd much rather
not have to transport a gigabyte every morning =)

Thanks in advance,
Josh
