'Any ideas how I could set up an automatic back like once a week or daily or what not with only certain folders onto my flash drive?' - if you have MacOS X 10.3.x or earlier - you could consider creating a 'bash' script, which is called at scheduled time(s), via 'crontab'. If you have MacOS X 10.4.x - you could do the same (if you create a 'crontab' file) or have the 'bash' script activated via a custom written 'LaunchDaemons' file (saved in the '/Library/LaunchDaemons/' folder).

You could also create a 'bash' script, which executes an AppleScript script - which may / may not contain 'bash' commands. The 'bash' script could / would be executed via 'crontab', or a 'LaunchDaemons' file - if MacOS X 10.4.x and later (?).
