[NBLUG/talk] Automatic backups

[Lincoln Peters]

I'm thinking that I should be able to get a complete backup of my home 
directory to an external hard disk (mounted at /backup) by using the 
following rsync command:

rsync -rlptgoHES --delete-during ~ /backup/

Anyone see any reason why this wouldn't work, and/or a better way to do it?  I 
don't see any problems myself, but I thought I should ask, just in case I made 
some mistake that would render the backup completely useless.
