[wellylug] Rotating backups

Hi, I just joined this list.

Can anyone suggest a good tool to use to set up rotating backups on my 
suse 10.1 file server?

Backups will be written to my NAS disk and I'll swap the disk every week 
so I have offsite backups.
I'm looking for both daily and fortnightly rotating backups.
Every day the backup will be written to a file named daily-mon, 
daily-tue, daily-wed etc so I end up with 7 daily backups going back 1 
week that over-write each other.
Every fortnight the backup file will be written to a file named 
weekly-1, weekly-2, weekly-3 etc so I end up with 26 fortnightly backups 
going back a year that over-write each other.

I'm also interested in paying someone to set it up so I'd appreciate any 
info on where to find good linux support in Welly or someone who'd 
interested in doing this for me.

Thanks,
Phil
