I have a similar setup (external USB drive that I periodically plugin to backup stuff), and I use rsnapshot which is based on the venerable
rsync
utility. It is a command line solution that I've used for many years and it allows you to do daily, weekly, or even monthly backups.I also use rsnapshot for handling remote backups as well, so it is pretty versatile.
