 ----
+====== Mirroring the Backups ======
+The backup location on the server can be rsync'ed to another location to create a backup of the backups.
+This is useful if you were to attach removable storage to the server, run the rsync of the latest backups, and take the removable storage offsite.
+Due to urbackup's space saving methods, rsync'ing the most current backup with the correct rsync options will provide the most accurate mirror.
+Example
+  * Urbackup location: /home/urbackup/
+  * The clients directory has symlinks to the latest backups: /home/urbackup/clients/
+  * Rsync example: sync the latest backups to an external drive<code bash>/usr/bin/rsync --archive --partial --progress --delete --copy-links -h /home/urbackup/clients/ /mnt/usb-storage/</code>
