    ### ABOUT
    ### Runs rsync, retrying on errors up to a maximum number of tries.
    ### Simply edit the rsync line in the script to whatever parameters you need.

    # Trap interrupts and exit instead of continuing the loop
    trap "echo Exited!; exit;" SIGINT SIGTERM

    MAX_RETRIES=50
    i=0

    # Set the initial return value to failure
    false

    while [ $? -ne 0 -a $i -lt $MAX_RETRIES ]
    do
    i=$(($i+1))
    rsync -avz --progress --partial -e "ssh -i /home/youngian/my_ssh_key" /mnt/storage/duplicity_backups [email protected]:.
    done

    if [ $i -eq $MAX_RETRIES ]
    then
    echo "Hit maximum number of retries, giving up."
