This is a simple wrapper for the awesome rsync-time-backup script by Laurent Cozic. Through clever use of hard links rsync-time-backup greatly speeds up incremental backups and saves disk space.

The wrapper script is for my internal NAS environment. The script selects either production or Dev/QA NAS based on the server name. The script will then mount the correct NFS share, run various checks, prep the target folder and launch the backup.
