-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Yes, you have different scripts now at least. But I still don't see any snapshotting. The only difference in these is that the "full" one rsyncs to a date+time stamped directory while the "snapshot" one rsyncs to a directory named snapshot. As far as I can tell both will be a complete copy with no relationship to the other.
