That's the way my scripts work, except I was not aware you could now have multiple --link-dest arguments. Thanks for pointing that out. The only downside to using --link-dest is that changes to the backed up file permissions and ownership can get lost and should be tracked separately if needed. At least, I vaguely recall noticing that being a problem when I write the scripts years ago. -Adam
