+  rsnapshot is a filesystem snapshot utility for making backups of local and
+  remote systems.
+
+  Using rsync and hard links, it is possible to keep multiple, full backups
+  instantly available. The disk space required is just a little more than the
+  space of one full backup, plus incrementals.
