  Description     : backup over network to multiple incremental archives

bontmia creates incremental snapshots of a list of given directories
over the network by using rsync over ssh and hard links. Every snapshot
looks for the user like a complete copy of all the files, but as a result
of using hard links every unchanged copy of a file is stored only once on
the hard disk.

The user can specify how old backups should be stored/kept. For example it's possible
to keep the daily snapshots of the last 14 days, but also keep one
snapshot per month of the last 12 months. The used network bandwidth can
also be limited to avoid affecting production systems.
