[X-Unix] Rsync, mysqldump and cron job help needed - part3

[Rad Craig]

7.) What is the correct rsync command to do the initial download of  
the directories I need, with the mysql dump?  Primarily, in my  
webhost home directory, I will have these mysql dumps, and about 6-8  
root level directories that I want to download, including their  
entire directory trees.

7a.)  Is there some sort of config file I can built to tell it which  
files and directories to grab or do I issue a separate rsync command  
for each file or directory?

7b.)  How do I tell it to recurse subdirectories under those 6-8 root  
level directories?

8.) What is the correct rsync command to do the incrementals each week?

9.)  Lastly, when I'm deleting the dumps, I would like to just use a  
wildcard so I only have one delete command.  If I name the dumps  
something like dbdump_dbname_date.sql, whats the best command format  
to get rid of them?

Sorry for all the questions, I'm just trying to get it all setup  
correctly so that I can leave it alone and let it run.  I'm starting  
to figure it out, if you'd just help me fill in some of the blanks.

Thanks for all your help.
