Here is the most basic use of rsync to perform backup of your computer. This is very easy to understand and that is why I did it. Below is a bash file that calls rsync with the -avg filters and it sets up the things to be backed up. I stopped backing up /sys because it has some things that do not want to be copied.

 # This is the rsync bash file for root

 rsync -avg /home/ /media/disk/

-g is already included with -a.

 # rsync -avg /sys /media/disk/
/sys is dynamically created by the kernel, like /proc. Ignore it.

Attached I send the script that I use for backups. It uses the
--link-dest option of rsync to keep the last 15 backups.


I am weak on bash script but will keep your script and try to understand how it works. I am interested in why you keep the last 15 incremental backups in files away from the main backup.
