OK, it's pretty long so I won't post the whole thing, but the important lines are rsyncoptions="--archive --progress --verbose --recursive" "$rsync" $rsyncoptions --hard-links --link-dest "$previous" "$source" "$current" I have it create destination dirs like /backup/2024-01-04_22:26:35/ /backup/2024-01-12_20:21:02/ /backup/2024-01-20_23:19:11/ /backup/2024-01-26_23:04:31/ /backup/2024-02-01_22:13:38/ /backup/2024-02-14_00:12:37/ /backup/2024-03-25_23:52:52/ /backup/2024-05-06_22:47:31/ /backup/2024-05-12_22:08:31/ /backup/2024-06-12_23:39:44/ so $previous and $current are two of those, and $source is /files . -- "Never go off on tangents, which are lines that intersect a [circle] at only one point and were discovered by Euclid, who lived in the [4th C BC], which was an era dominated by the Goths, who lived in what we now know as Poland." - from the Nov. 1998 issue of _Infosystems Executive_.
