This looks like a fun game!  I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours.

#!/bin/bash

date=`date "+%Y-%m-%d"`

mkdir /nas/web-backup/Backups/${date}-incomplete
rsync -avP --exclude-from=/etc/rsync/web-exclude --link-dest=/nas/web-backup/Backups/current /nas/web/ /nas/web-backup/Backups/${date}-incomplete

mv /nas/web-backup/Backups/${date}-incomplete /nas/web-backup/Backups/${date}
chown -R www-data:www-data /nas/web-backup/Backups/${date}

cd /nas/web-backup/Backups
rm /nas/web-backup/Backups/current
ln -s ${date} current
unset date

# delete backups created more than 7 days ago
find /nas/web-backup/Backups/ -maxdepth 1 -ctime +6 -exec rm -rf {} \;
