“One thing that I won’t mention there is the minor
setback that occurred due to my stupidity and lack of thought.“The problem was rsync!
“I decided (quite rightly) that it would be rather sensible to
back up the writing machine not only to gmail (my normal process)
and to an external USB drive (I just happened to have a spare one
available) but also to my server.“Rather than write a backup script from scratch I decided to use
an old one and just change the locations.”
