here<br>> again I think that you can do that with a shell script (brackup-restore<br>> && diff).<br><br></div>As above, would like to help the problem for other interested parties.<br><br>After some more thought, I guess I would propose a --diff flag that would just list differences between the original and the restoration.<br><br>Am I the only brackup user out there that would like to know that he
isn't just spinning his wheels and that his backups could really be
restored?<br>
<br>Perhaps I should send different emails, but<br><br>1. Any thoughts of adding zip support? I might be missing it, but I couldn't see it in Backup.pm or Restore.pm. I would be just fine with a little cpu hit to save a few bucks :)<br>2. How about a limit so I don't accidentally back up / and get a huge s3 bill?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Earl<br><br><br></div></div><br>__________________________________________________<br>Do You Yahoo!?<br>Tired of spam?
