I push my webserver and desktops each night over to a backup server 
using rsync by running a script on the desktops/webserver.  I've got 
that set for 1am.
Then at about 3 am on the backup server I run a script that compresses 
the backups and dates it.

Is there an easy way to ensure the script on the backup server doesn't 
start running until the backups are done?  Or would I be better forcing 
the compression and dating right from the desktop script?
