UTC 2004  I have to say that there are some pretty robust
filesystems out there for linux, in which it should be pretty
hard to lose files that are not being written to at the moment
of system crash, unless you have a hard disk crash.   Of course
only backup will prevent you from losing data in a hard disk
failure.  But for the rest, it seems a pretty expensive thing to
do (most of us feel we don't have enough disk space for our
videos) on the videos that probably are going to be watched and
then deleted thereafter.  One trick (which I don't think rsync
will do) would be to backup videos only if they get to a certain
age, implying they are now in your "collection" rather than your
"watch and delete" category.  I suppose it would be nice if you
could set a bit in Myth to mark such shows but I don't know how
to do that.  However, you could do the following trick:      Run
a command to create a hard link (not symlink) of your
"collection"     videos
