welll, hopefull, the op and others can figure out to add "-mtime -7"
for last 7 days of incremental changes vs -mtime -30 for last 30 days
and put all that ( 1 line ) in a script or into cron
and mount/umount backups as needed
- always manually mount the backups otherwise, watch out for
"rm -rf /" that automounted your backups too
