  13 Description: Yet another `rsync --link-dest' backup script.
  14  It uses rsync's ability to create hardlinks from (apparently) similar
  15  existing local trees to make incre- mental dumps efficient, even from remote
  16  sources.  Restoring files is easy because the backups created are just
  17  directories full of files, exactly as they were on the source - and this is
  18  verified using the fshash(1) program (included).
  19  .
  20  The script does more than just running rsync.  It is also responsible for
  21  creating and removing snapshots of volumes to be backed up, and expiring old
  22  dumps according to a user-specified retention policy.
