Hope all is well. I would love to hear a little more detail about your script. Never used rsnapshot - Love the idea of filesystem snapshot on top of rsync. Thanks for the tip - I'm going to be trying it tonight :) Thanks. Hi Scott. Hope all is well. I would love to hear a little more detail about your script.

It uses rsync with link-dest, but automatically handles rolling the backups. It's been running for a couple of months now with no problems. I also like how it can backup the results of scripts as well; for example, I take a backup of my MythTV database, and it knows if there are any changes. My biggest "problem" was exclusion of files. A little shell scripting helped out there. If you'd like more details on my scripts just let me know. Instead of rsync, I use rsnapshot.
