Cron job for incremental backups

Edit the root crontab

# $editor /etc/cron.d/bkctld
+ MAILTO=alert4@evolix.net
+ 30 11 * * * root /usr/sbin/bkctld inc && /usr/sbin/bkctld rm
+ 30 23 * * * root /usr/share/scripts/check-incs.sh 1> /dev/null

Notes

If you want mutiples backups in a day (1 per hour maximum) you can run bkctld inc multiples times, if you want to keep incremental backups for ever, just don't run bkctld rm.
