I learned how to use rsync from Carla's great "Linux Cookbook." Once this link is fixed (I'll try to do it), I am eager to see this article, too.

Update: Linux.com is dead at the moment. Hopefully it'll be back soon.

It's back, and it's a great tutorial on backups via `rsync` and `duplicity`. I always wanted to figure out `duplicity`, especially via Amazon S3.
