   The nice thing about rsync is, its --link-dest option lets you create   
   incremental backups that look like full backups for restoration   
   purposes. It saves space by not making additional copies of files that   
   haven’t changed, but because standard POSIX/*nix filesystems allow the   
   same file to be linked into multiple directories, that same file can   
   appear in multiple snapshots taken at different times, and restored   
   from any of them.
