(pseudo) incremental backup with different exclude lists using hardlinks and rsync

I think that this quick test is a much better than, say, pinging
the source in a pre-exec script: this tests not only that the
source is up and connected to the net, it also verifies (1) that
ssh is up and accepting our key (if we are using ssh), and (2) that
the source directory is mounted (if it needs to be mounted) and
readable.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ccollect.sh, Nico Schottelius, 2005-12-06 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ccollect backups (local or remote) data to local or remote destinations. You can retrieve the latest version of ccollect at [0]. ccollect was inspired by rsnapshot [1], which has some problems: - configuration parameters has to be TAB seperated - you can not specify per source exclude lists - no per source pre/post execution support - no parallel execution - does unecessary moving of backup directories - I didn't like the configuration at all, so I used the cconfig style [2]. Please use tools/report_success.sh to report success, if you are successfully using ccollect.
