+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.
