You can find some backup/recovery apps that might work for you here:
Backup & Recovery | Linux App Finder
If you find something you want to try, you can probably install it using YUM.
You can probably run any scheduled backups using a cron job. Lots of cron job tutorials here:
cron job - Google Search
Maybe someone else will offer up some other backup plans, or thoughts on the matter.oz

I managed with a script + cronjob
The script chose the files I wanted backed up and made a log of it. The cronjob only called the script.
