Response to: incremental backup without archive bit?

I, too, use rsync. I do not have an external HD, but I _do_ have an exteranl dvd burner, and internal CD burner. I do a full backup to my DVD and then incrementals (differentials, actually) using rsync to a disk image which I then burn to CD. Using the --compare-dest=the_DVD arg in rsync, I can keep a full backup on a DVD and differentials on CDs.
