The way that is it supposed to work.

1st you run it - full backup of files & folders

if day = Monday -> Saturday then
	just backup the files that have been changed

if day = sunday then
	full back up

if day (#) of month = 1 then
	full back up.

It is called an incremental backup ... why you had strange results. I don't
know, works on mine, and a few others I have it on.

You need to delete the files if you plan on playing with it, other then that
if you are downloading stuff, it is only going to backup the new stuff
downloaded.
Or in theory, that is how it should work.

I am not a bash code, I like PHP or Perl, but free is free.
