One thing I might point out though is that you (Betty) said you did the backup about once a month and your example shows rsyncing to a directory named for the month (October). That's fine but some people use rsync to update a single backup destination so they don't keep each backup separately.

This is true - if you change the destination folder you do copy everything because rsync does not know you copied anything before. Rsync syncs. Thus if you wish to sync /my/files/ and /media/my/backupfiles/ it copies everything from files to back up files on the first run then every subsequent run

You might also check out the Déjà Dup tool. It also does incremental backups correctly (it is a front-end to duplicity). As long as you don't need some of the more advanced features of duplicity, rsnapshot, rdiff-backup, etc, it works quite well on the desktop. signature.asc Description:
