I see you have some Differential going with rync but using say a monthly
FULL against weekday Diffs will save you more time and make the whole
exercise more managebale. Rsync mirrors of ordinary data can be messy and
difficult to manage I have found. Rdiff was not robust enough I also
found.

If no one has any objection, as a thought exercise and research, I will
compile an anonymous online survey to poll HLUG ML as to what they
consider their five most important pieces of data, i.e. a particular
database or set of spreadsheets, photos etc and the approximate size then
publish the results.
