I put it here http://www.update.uu.se/~peterl/tmp/dobackup.sh.txt
if someone wants it.

Very cool! I’ve been doing basicly the same thing for years - but i must say that the use emblems is just awesome!

I did some modification to your dobackup.sh to handle remote and local backups (or both).

#!/bin/bash

# Do backups to local media or/and an rsync server
# You must have already set up a passphraseless ssh key to the ssh server
# so that “ssh servername” just logs you in.

BK=$(dirname $0)
BKNAME=$USER
#BKROTATE=begin-backup
BKROTATE=”rotate-backup”
BKREMOTEHOST=
BKREMOTEDIR=
BKLOCALDIR=/media/LACIE/backup
BKEMBLEMNAME=”Backup”

RSYNCFLAGS=”-avzq -delete”

#Rotate the backup

## Try to rotate remote backup location
if [ -n "$BKREMOTEHOST" ]; then
ssh $BKREMOTEHOST $BKREMOTEDIR/$BKROTATE $BKNAME
if [ $? != 0 ]; then
echo “Failed to connect to backup host (${BKREMOTEHOST}).”
else
### Now, do the backup
$BK/findemblem.py $BKEMBLEMNAME | while read fn; do
rsync $RSYNCFLAGS -e ssh “$fn” $BKREMOTEHOST:$BKREMOTEDIR/$BKNAME/current
done
fi
fi

## Try to rotate local backup location
if [ -n "$BKLOCALDIR" -a -d "$BKLOCALDIR" ]; then
$BKLOCALDIR/$BKROTATE $BKNAME

### Now, do the backup
$BK/findemblem.py $BKEMBLEMNAME | while read fn; do
rsync $RSYNCFLAGS “$fn” $BKLOCALDIR/$BKNAME/current
done
fi

## If no backup destination is specified - abort
if [ -z "$BKREMOTEHOST" -a -z "$BKREMOTEDIR" -a -z "$BKLOCALDIR" ]; then
echo “No backup destination specified.”
exit 1
fi
