Yes, stuff's already being dumped to tape every night. It's going back to
recover stuff, that's a pain. I'm trying to simplify my life, specially now that
I'm starting to suffer from RSI.

However, does rsync automatically update the backup directory and remove files
that were also deleted in the user's account? Or do I have to first delete
everything, then resync everything (which wouldn't make rsync very fast, now would
it?)
