rsync_tmbackup.sh -p 2222 /home user@example.com:/mnt/backup_drive
* To mimic Time Machine's behaviour, a cron script can be setup to backup at regular interval. For example, the following cron job checks if the drive "/mnt/backup" is currently connected and, if it is, starts the backup. It does this check every 1 hour.

To display the rsync options that are used for backup, run `./rsync_tmbackup.sh --rsync-get-flags`. It is also possible to add or remove options using the `--rsync-set-flags` option. For example, to exclude backing up permissions and groups:
rsync_tmbackup --rsync-set-flags "--numeric-ids --links --hard-links --one-file-system --archive --no-perms --no-groups --itemize-changes" /src /dest
