I think this is a very good idea.
Of course we have to check that new_snapshot is not too old (no more
than few days).

,Hey Dan,
why do we actually delete the new_snapshot folder if it exists
already, and not just continue? rsync will makes sure that it will be
identical to the latest time the command is issued. In case of an
interrupted backup it will just continues were it was (and checks if
there are changes in the beginning in the meanwhile -> solving the
time-stamp issue)... Especially in the case of large backups and to
take them for the first time, this could be handy.
Cheers,
Bart

Do not use schedule per included folder for version 0.9.26! It does
not support har1inking, what in the case of a tera definitely will
cause nightmares (it will do a full backup each time it takes a snapshot)!
By the way I am curious to your experiences with a tera of data. My
experience goes to 100 gig, that takes approx 2 minutes for an
incremental backup, so I am wondering if a tera takes 20 minutes or less?

Wolfram confirmed that the question is solved:
Well, understood.
Schedule per include dir does not solve my problem. I have to back
up approx 1TB. So my first backup causes some headaches - as I
have a limited timeslot (per day) only. I currently evaluate to
split and add one more include folder on every run. Once I have
all subfolders backed up, I will replace them by a single parent
folder. Hope this works.
Thanks,
Wolfram
P.S.: Yes, profiles would be great.
A log of each performed backup with all parameters and each file
listed with its action also would be beneficial.
