I'm surprised that I don't see a '--backup' or a '--backup-dir' in
there... Without those, you really just have a one-way mirror, and
that's not a backup. (If you don't notice right away that you've
overwritten/corrupted some valuable file, then the next time you
rsync you lose your backup copy too... :( )
