rsync is your friend. No need to write something that already exists! A simple "rsync -aP /directory/folder/ /backup/solutionFolder" is all it really needs. the / at the end of the first directory search tells it to backup the contents inside the folder to the folder listed after the space.

Edit: also works over ssh: "rsync -aP /directory/folder/ user@remote:/backup/solutionFolder"

This feels like the reviewers expected Debian to create their own desktop environment between releases or something. The point of Debian has always been a stable experience, not to be flashy.
