Well, I ended up rsyncing the root directory to the new server with the
-H option and it seemed to work. I have 30 directories for 30 days of
rotating backups.

However, I had a dir called /Current that had 12Gbs and then all the
/date directories had 120mb, 60mb, etc...the daily changes that
occurred. Well now the directory called /01-01-2004 has 12Gb and
/Current has like 100mb. I guess /01-01-2004 went first do to sorting.

Anyway to change /Current back as the real directory? Or does it even
matter?

Thanks,
