I'm working on an inotify triggered dirvish backup for computers that are not 
always on.  The idea is that a script runs either on boot or in a cron job on 
the client that creates a file on the server via ssh which then activates 
dirvish.  Once it's working, I'll post it for anyone to use.

I have alot of it figured out, though I do have some dirvish querstions.

I don't want to run an expire on a group of images until they are backed up.  
Thus, I came up with this:

        dirvish-expire --vault vault
        dirvish --config file --vault vault

I just need to know what needs to be in the config file, at minimum.  I believe 
it needs to be a combination of master.conf and the individual vault 
default.conf file.  I believe the following will do what I need.  Can anyone 
confirm this for me?

bank:
        /home/dirvish/personal

image-default: %Y-%m-%d
client: yertle
tree: /home
xdev: 1
exclude:
        lost+found/
        proc/
        core
        **/cache/**
        **/Cache/**
        **/.cache/**
        **/.Cache/**

expire-default: never
expire-rule:
#MIN    HR      DOM     MON     DOW     EXPIRE
