Incremental backups with rsync
There are some good resources guiding people to make shell scripts for creating incremental backups using rsync, but it’s still a lot to wade through if you’re not very familiar with some of the ins and outs of *nix terminal commands. ** NOTE: I’m still testing these scripts to make sure they all work.
