Not exactly sure what you mean by "new rsync features", but I wrote the following script a while back with a similar purpose in mind and have recently updated it: https://lauren.room52.net/svn/lstewart/misc/scripts/rolling_backups/trunk/ Username/password: guest/guest It still needs a little bit of polishing, particularly the stats reporting feature, but works as is. The configure script is currently redundant and you can simply rename "backup.sh.in" to "backup.sh" and make it executable. The usage statement and comments at the top of the script describe how to use it. I use it to do all my home and non realtime-critical backups, but YMMV. Cheers, Lawrence
