I have setup rsync to backup another linux computer with the link-dest option and realized storage savings. 1st backup is 31gb, daily backups only take approx 4gb. But when I rsync with link-dest to usb external drive all backups take up 31gb. Following is 1st the one that works and 2nd with no storage savings. Any ideas? Thanks, Frank
