[clue-admin] Backups

[Grant Johnson]

I actually do a rolling backup here a little differently, and it works
very well.   I use a combination of hard links and rsync.   If you for a
recursive hard link copy, it takes up very little space, only that of
the directory entries.   rsync, then only replaces the files that need
to be because they changed.   Then I roll off one old backup.

The result is that I have a backup that uses the space of the deltas,
but I can go to any date and see backups that look and act like fulls to
make it easy to recover stuff.


I can send my scripts if this sounds like a useful solution.   It could
run local or remote.  The scripts are short and easy to understand.
