Thanks, ok, almost there. How do I only get the diff files? The issue is I dont want to re-backup the old photos, just the ones after a specific date. It will not re-backup stuff that is already in the backup. On the first run, it will of course copy everything. During the second run it will only copy files that where modified or newly created. So when running

That is also the reason why I can backup my entire $home in <1 minute: Rsync only copies modified files. If you have some of your data backed up somewhere else and don't want to rsync that, use the --exlude-from option. Also useful to prevent backing up browser caches or ~/.thumbnails. The --delete makes sure that files you have deleted on your harddisk will also get deleted in your backup, so that your backup matches exactly the state of your system.
