Description: Yet another `rsync --link-dest' backup script.
 It uses rsync's ability to create hardlinks from (apparently) similar
 existing local trees to make incre- mental dumps efficient, even from remote
 sources.  Restoring files is easy because the backups created are just
 directories full of files, exactly as they were on the source - and this is
 verified using the fshash(1) program (included).
 .
 The script does more than just running rsync.  It is also responsible for
 creating and removing snapshots of volumes to be backed up, and expiring old
 dumps according to a user-specified retention policy.
