In a previous message, "Carlos E. R."
On the other hand, [rsync] is not an historic backup, you can not retrieve older versions. There is just one copy of everything - unless you program it to keep several copies, in diferent places.
The nifty thing about this backup script I found is that it uses rsync initially, and then uses cp -al to copy only links to those files (i.e. it uses no extra space unless files have changed), giving a reverse incremental backup - the latest version is complete (thanks to rsync) and the daily and weekly backups before it contain only the changes to that most-current backup. Anyhow, as long as the OP has found a good solution, that's the main thing!
