What's the best way for me to set something up like a script to run upon boot/xbmc launch to backup the Watched/not watched data everytime?

What os? On Linux I have a cron job to rsync backup certain folders daily, but it wouldn't be to hard to run at boot etc.
Only way I know to backup watched data is to backup the whole xbmc usrrdata directory, there may be better ways but I've never looked onto it.

Yes, XBMCBuntu..... Maybe I should post this in the linux forum....
I'm not very familiar with linux, are cron jobs similar to scheduled tasks in windows? That's how I would think of doing it.....

I'm pretty sure they are.. I'll post my command for crontab/rsync when I get home.
