Hello. I have setup a cron file to backup four directories to a windows
computer mounted with smbfs as /mnt/winBackup

Here is my sh script in /cron.daily/

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
#!/bin/sh

BLIST="personal music library apps"

for d in $BLIST; do
echo "preparing to backup $d"
rsync --verbose --progress --stats --compress -recursive --times
--perms --links --delete --exclude fstab /hd2/data/$d/
/mnt/stadionBackup/$d/
done

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Two questions: (1) is this the best way to backup all my linux files to
a PC nightly
(2) it doesn't seem to be doing incremental backups, namely the entire
files are replaced, even if I haven't touched them

Any help will be much appreciated

Thanks,

Tim
