Feedback on my second script

[Jackiejarvis]

Like in my previous post I would ask you to give some feedback on my second script. This script will start a rsync process between to places. I would like to get some feedback on this script so I can improved it or maybe you see some things that can go wrong that I don't see.

Many thanks!

    -- Usage for rsync script --
    ----------------------------
    Required:
    --path :
        The source directory, this is the directory you want to back-u
+p
        Example --path='/path/to/source'
    --destination
        This is the destination, where you want to put the back-up
        Example --destination='/path/to/destination'
    Optional:";
    --exclude
        Use this option if you want to exclude some directories
        Without this option the script will exclude only .etc and lost
++found
        Example: --exclude='test' --exclude='demo'

+t+found
