Backup?  Hah!  You're funny.  :]  Though the fact that I haven't been
backing up for quite awhile is not so particularly funny.  :[

I was hoping digiKam had such a feature built-in.  I feel like I
remember it from a few years back, but that's probably just wishful
thinking.  If I do write such a script I'll be sure to share it here.

For the most part I mark with one star rather than deleting, so that
could make this a touch easier.

Thanks for the reply and suggestions.
