Methods for Backing up user data at imaging

Good morning,

So my University is new to JAMF and we are trying to find a more effective method of backing up user data (preferably when we are imaging the computer). Each user is granted a share drive where they can store data. An example path would be (server/subgroup/users_share). Does anyone know any effective methods to copying over the user's entire home folder and searching within the server for a matching username to copy all the data over? Would it be a simple script or would anyone recommend a third party plugin/software?

There was a script on here recently that backed up the user data.
