Good point.  What I like about the rsync snapshots is that I can
"browse" back in time.  In my case, I always have hourly snapshots going
back four hours, daily snapshots going back four days and weekly
snapshots going back four weeks.  That works out rather nicely in that
it is trivial for me to compare files across snapshots.
