pax question

[Osmany Guirola Cruz]

Hi people
 i want do backup of my home directory (some days ago i had a terrible
accident with my hdd and i don't have backups of my files :-( ) now i am
using or trying to use pax.....this is what i did.
in the crontab i put this 

0       6       1       *       *       root    pax
-wzf /160GB/backups/$filename /home/osmany/

where filename is the date of the backup

and

50      23      *       *       *       root    pax -T 0000
-wzf /160GB/backups/$filename /home/osmany/

where filename is the date of the backup plus delta word.

all this work perfect..... hmm this work "without problem" but i want to
know if there are a better way to do my backups. i'm not sure that this
was perfect ...
Some help please

Thanks
