 Easily run both *full* and *differential* backups with rsync, to a local folder or an SSH server.
 
 This script is really just a wrapper around rsync's beautiful functionality. It presents a simplified interface for one very narrow use case: Simplifying the process of running daily backups:

 * Otherwise, it will automatically choose a *full* or *differential* backup type, based on whether it detects an existing *full* backup folder at the backup destination
 * For *differential* backups, it automatically generates a folder based on today's date and time, making it easier to store many differentials without the need to manually fuss with anything
 
+## Archive Status

+I've decided to discontinue development of this project because [restic](https://restic.net/) is so much more robust, useful, and cool. *Mike's Backup* still works as of this writing (2022-07-20), but I've moved all my personal backups over to restic.
