Backup Directory Hierarchy
--------------------------
* basedir
| - data *directory containing all snapshots*
| | - snapshot1 *first snapshot*
| | - boot
| | - home
| | - etc
| | - snapshot2
| | - boot
| | - home
| | - etc
| - prev *link to previous snapshot*
* Assuming snapshot2 was the previous backup and snapshot1 was the backup before that:
* prev would link to snapshot2
* Unchanged files files from snapshot1 backed up to snapshot2 are hardlinked to snapshot1

* Use --link-dest=
* Use --suffix=, --backup, and --backup-dir=
To-do
