Are there any Open Source Software for backing up my documents onto a hard drive at a certain time every day?

I recently bought a new external hard drive after my old one crashed. My old one came with a program that would automatically back up my files at a certain time every day. My new hard drive came with a few programs like that one – but they all cost money. I was wondering if there were any Open Source or free programs that I could download to use.

What open source program is the best example of Ruby programming to study to learn the language better?

Looking for a good open source program to study in order to pick up on the idioms of Ruby programming that make Ruby programs uniquely succinct, elegant, powerful, profound, and readable. I am looking for a program that when I study thee source code for it, it will show me the strengths of the language.

Sort of like design patterns but code patterns. You know, good idioms of the language that are in popular use.
