Jeff,

That look a lot like something I run...

[newton/Raid1] ls snapshots
daily.0   daily.3   monthly.0   monthly.11  monthly.5  monthly.8  weekly.2
daily.1   daily.4   monthly.1   monthly.2   monthly.6  weekly.0   yearly.0
daily.2   hourly.0  monthly.10  monthly.3   monthly.7  weekly.1   yearly.1

all are incremental snapshots, with like files all hardlinked together to
save space.  Basically a perl script wrapper around rsync.
