That is how to do an incremental backup. But rsync can do a snapshot
with --link-dest instead of --backup. The big difference is that with
- --link-dest each backup will contain the entire tree not just the
different files. Therefore if you need to
Hi,
I think the words used are not correct, that's why you (and Kevin) are a
bit confused. You are in fact asking for "incremental" backup, not a
"snapshot" : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapshot_(computer_storage).
In this case, you can use rsync with a few flags to delete (or move in

Just to show you what rsync snapshots should look like here is a
really quick and dirty script that will make a complete backup then a
snapshot using most of the information from your scripts:

Yes, you have different scripts now at least. But I still don't see
any snapshotting. The only difference in these is that the "full" one

The scripts you posted look the same to me. And I don't see any form
of snapshotting. The $NOW variable is set and is echoed but it is
never actually used. For an rsync snapshot I would expect to see

I have two scripts that a kind soul on this list wrote for me over 4yrs
