Comment on I wrote a python script to backup my home directory

Yeah, no problem… I started out with just bare rsync - but I did the backup infrequently and needed my notes to know the command. Then I wrote a simple shell script to run the rsync for me. Then I decided I needed more than one backup, redundancy is good. Then I wanted to keep track of the backups so I had it write to .backuplog then that file started getting dated (every time I run a “sun” backup the record of the previous one is useless) so Finally TaDa! loci is born.
