What backup method do you want to use?
A simple google search will give you some pointers.

Create a script to do what you want, then put the script in a cronjob.

Kind regards

If you'd rather use a quick qui I've been using fwbackups for a few years now to backup my backup server. It works well for a single system, but I wouldn't want to manage many systems with it (thus why it only backups the backup server).
