I forgot to mention that in playing around with differential/incremental
rsync approaches, I came across a tool called rdiff-backup (uses
librsync) that takes a very efficient approach. I just started checking
it out.

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out how to keep a mirror and 7 day incremental
backup between to 2 mount points.
I want to rsync everything from /mnt/production/ to
/mnt/backup/production/ on the same server.
Nothing fancy.
But ,
I Want to utilize the --delete option for files that no longer exist
on /mnt/production/ that have been on /mnt/backup/production/ for
longer then 7 days.
I can't use the BACKUPDIR=`date +%A`, multiple directory method, as
the amount of data I'm dealing with is to great to kept track of
easily that way
I need the backup files to be a mirror of the original with 7 days of
extra data.
If anyone could help I'd really appreciate it.
Thanx
darcy
