You have to have a script that places a "successful" file in the root of
the completed rsync...
And use that to figure out what to do for link-dest at the top of the
script...
I use something more like daily.0-daily.7 and monthly.0-monthly.3 for
the folders and rotate them daily -if- the "successful" file exists.
If it does not rotate, then the failed rsync from the day before is
reused...
(i.e. I always backup to daily.0 using daily.1 as the link-dest...)
I make a hard-link replica of daily.1 into monthly.0 on the first of
each month.
That leaves me with 7 days of successful daily backups and 4 months of
depth backups.

and etc.
This isn't really what you were asking, but with the "dated
directories" scheme, what happens if one or your machines crashes
during a backup? Don't you end up storing a lot more data in the next
successful backup?
