,Hey Dan, why do we actually delete the new_snapshot folder if it exists already, and not just continue? rsync will makes sure that it will be identical to the latest time the command is issued. In case of an interrupted backup it will just continues were it was (and checks if there are changes in the beginning in the meanwhile -> solving the time-stamp issue)... Especially in the case of large backups and to take them for the first time, this could be handy.

It does not support har1inking, what in the case of a tera definitely will cause nightmares (it will do a full backup each time it takes a snapshot)! By the way I am curious to your experiences with a tera of data. My experience goes to 100 gig, that takes approx 2 minutes for an incremental backup, so I am wondering if a tera takes 20 minutes or less?
