[NBLUG/talk] UNIX System V backup woes

[Omar Eljumaily]

On the subject of rsync backups, be careful that you keep incremental 
file changes and deletions for a significant period of time.  A simple 
mirror of files can get overwritten by malware, especially ransomware.  
You need to archive before modifying or deleting files.
