I read the following hint at: http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/#Incremental
mv backup.0 backup.1 rsync -a --delete --link-dest=../backup.1 source_directory/ backup.0/
I simply want to maintain a dated backup of a server so that I could always go back to a certain date. I would like to keep this structure for each day for the last seven days, then one weekly snapshot for each week in the month and then each month I would like to have as well.
That's what I'm doing since some years. Have a look at http://www.pollux.franken.de/hjb/rsback.
rback is an implentation of Mike Rubel's approach written in perl.
Thanks much for any help!
