# This script will rsync the entire filesystem to /mnt/backup/live/ 
# This script assumes /mnt/backup/live/ is where we want to backup files
#
# My personal setup:
#   -- has this running hourly with cron
#   -- mounts /mnt/backup to it's own specific NFS share configured for the host
# 
# !! WARNING SLOW FIRST RUN !!
# the first run will be slow so run this first before setting up the hourly job
