Well, I had 2 reasons for writing the script...
1. I wanted to know what was different between 2 backups. Capturing
- --itemize-changes can certainly do that (I don't remember if my script
pre-dates --itemize-changes or not but it predates my knowledge of it)
2. I wanted to know what files were unique to a backup and therefore
consuming disk space and why they were different. If I saw an instance
where the only difference was the inode number then I would be concerned
and investigate why rsync chose to duplicate that file. I have never
actually witnessed this happening but I only checked for it a few times.
