A good systems analysis is a must in whatever one does. Be it system
admin, software developer, accountant, lawyer etc.
My suggestion about using "find" was in response to OP's

how to perform a differential backup using rsync?
On web there is a great confusion about diff backup concept when
searched with rsync.

rsync will do incremental backup as already discussed earlier in this thread.
Please suggest how to achieve a differential backup with rsync (the
original query).
