du -sh /home/backup/*

Maybe I should take up an afternoon coffee habit. I did some reading

[r...@arthur /home/backup]# du -hcd1 .

Here is the script I am running via cron:
#! /usr/local/bin/bash
dest=`date +%k | sed 's/ //g'`
linkdir=`date -v-1H +%k | sed 's/ //g'`
chflags -R noschg /home/backup
rm -rf
