"So what!?!" I hear you say. Well the clever bit is that thanks to the magic of linux, even though all the daily backup dirs look full, only the changed files actually take up space!

(*DISCLAIMER* I know this to be true for Linux versions of the commands, not sure about OSX / Darwin versions)

OK, I have given up keeping this sig up to date. Lets just say I'm the guy that installs every latest version as soon as its available!
