An optional exclude file can be provided as a third parameter. It should be compabible with the --exclude-from parameter of rsync. See [this tutorial] (https://sites.google.com/site/rsync2u/home/rsync-tutorial/the-exclude-from-option) for more information.
# Features
* Each backup is on its own folder named after the current timestamp. Files can be copied and restored directly, without any intermediate tool.
* Files that haven't changed from one backup to the next are hard-linked to the previous backup so take very little extra space.
* Safety check - the backup will only happen if the destination has explicitely been marked as a backup destination.
* Resume feature - if a backup has failed or was interrupted, the tool will resume from there on the next backup.
* Exclude file - support for pattern-based exclusion via rsync --exclude-from parameter.
* The application is one bash script that can be easily edited.
# TODO
* Check if there's enough space in the destination before doing the backup. Also automatically delete old backups.
* Manage the backups in a way similar to Time Machine - hourly backups for the past 24 hours; daily backups for the past month; weekly backups for the previous months.
