The way that is it supposed to work.
1st you run it - full backup of files & folders
if day = Monday -> Saturday then
just backup the files that have been changed
if day = sunday then
full back up
if day (#) of month = 1 then
full back up.
It is called an incremental backup ... why you had strange results. I don't
know, works on mine, and a few others I have it on.
You need to delete the files if you plan on playing with it, other then that
if you are downloading stuff, it is only going to backup the new stuff
downloaded.
Or in theory, that is how it should work.
I am not a bash code, I like PHP or Perl, but free is free.
