rsync - Jul 2004 - Backup script

*The goal is to backup an remote incremental each
day.*

I trying to figure a way to run rsync via ssh from my
local box to backup an remote box but only back
incremental of changed data to a dir for that day.

I guess I need a full copy of the data that is need to
be backup from the remote box on my local box so rsync
can compare the file different each date?

Not really. Having no data on the remote box means that there's more to 
transfer across from the source box. In other words, if rsync doesn't find 
a file to compare with, it transfers the file in its entirety.
