This is a simple BASH script which will backup source directories to a destination target, such as a mounted NFS share. It will create a full directory structure matching the source, but only use disk space for new/changed files. This is done by linking existing files.
Essentially, it backs up like an incremental backup, and consumes space like an incremental backup, but restores like a full backup.
