Here's the script I'm using:

http://hexten.net/junk/backup.sh

There's plenty of cruft in there. The PIPESTATUS stuff is a legacy of  
when rsync used to pipe its output through another script that added  
timestamps - should be OK just to test $? now. There's also stuff in  
there to grab a snapshot of my MySQL slave and merge it into the  
backup which you probably wouldn't need.
