He redirects stdout and stderr to files and doesn't require user interaction.
Living on a notebook, almost all of my scripts don't do that, so they
won't work from cron or any background situation unless I modify them with
that in mind.

Thanks so much. I'm going to try it out. It looks like all I need to do
is add something (manual or script) to delete the oldest versions
periodically.

No good deed goes unpunished ;)
Very nicely coded script, but it's a bit dense. I'm good at bash and can
survive in rsync, but could you provide a description of what it actually
does so I don't have to spend a long time analysing the code?
Does it keep multiple versions like the name implies?
Wow! Thanks for making it so easy. I will try that asap.

Let us know if that ever gets merged into the official releases. I could
use that feature. I download a lot of media files and when I normalize
their names, rsync treats them as new files.
At this point, I don't want to build my own rsync. I haven't learned git
yet and have to be sure that I do
If that's a concern, then you could just use a service like dyndns to get
an address that's reliable. For non-commercial use, it's free.

No, but a couple of things that I would look at (that you probably already
did) : 1) Since rsync handles embedded blanks in paths, it probably also
works for embedded single quotes, but I'd verify that. 2) Are \#303\#253
valid characters (especially on the host that's generating the error

Since no one has replied yet, I have one idea that *might* point to part
of your problem. I've never had to deal with locale issues, so I have no
idea about that.
You have directories and file names with blanks in them. In general, this
causes a lot of trouble for a lot of programs. I'm not sur
Another option (that I'm looking into,but haven't tried) is to do rsync
over ftp. Many NASs support ftp, so that may work for you.

I'm writing an rsync backup script in bash on kubuntu oneiric.
While debugging my script, I accidentally invoked rsync with a first
null/empty argument as
rsync "" options source dest
I did not get any error messages. rsync worked as advertised, but it also
