-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Yes, I know that the OP was asking about pushing backups and rsnapshot only pulls backups. The point was that the OP just wasn't getting the - --link-dest concept at all. Therefore a DIY solution just wasn't going to heppen. Therefore trying something like rsnapshot would either be a "good enough" solution or it would be a working example that would demonstrate the concept.
