My 2-cents' worth - because I do not know any better:

Hitherto I have used "storeBackup".

For inspection and comment, I have attached the log-file of my latest 
back-up.

The following info is relevant for anyone who checks the log:

My computer is old (and slow by today's standards); and
I am somewhat slapdash about running backups.

After reading this thread, I installed and tried "rsnapshot".  It is 
*very* much faster.  I am in no position to compare the qualities of the 
resulting backups.
