rsync problem

I have a backup script using rsync. I've included part of it below. For some reason, everything seems to work OK except that files don't get deleted from the backup copy of /home (I've marked the problem with a comment). Since the params I specify on all lines of the script are the same, I

I notice the anomaly both /home and /public get rsync'ed into $MOUNT/home-public. Could it be that /public has files with the same name as deleted files in /home? (Not to mention the more serious problem that $MOUNT/home-public would contain only files from /public, no files from /home.) By the

OK - that makes sense - I'll try adding --ignore-errors. I'm not worried about risking a massive deletion since my script checks for an unusual change in the size of my backed up directories, so I guess I'd catch that. I'm not sure I understand what the --backup option does or why it would

Actually, with the possibility of nfs, my data could be anywhere and just mounted at /nas/web-backup :) Also, the --link-dest= flag I use is the hard link snapshots you're asking about. It creates a new generation of links each day, and keeps a rotating week of them. It's not N backups, it's
