Description: Baccus - Trivial Use File Backup and Restore
Snapshot a file system (directory) as often as you like
and at any time retrieve any of the snapshots.
Baccus uses content addressable storage on the local
filesystem for filesystem archival. For more info see:

Currently at version 0.1
Note: this is pre-alpha development quality, if it breaks
you have to keep the parts (tm).

Contact: See [LEG] and the websiteMay 2013: tried other things and got back to Baccus again. Since installation was anything less then smooth, fixed some minor problems. urta persistent parameter store using Tie with file data source does not work out, because the file grows Megas with one large run. So decided to implement Sqlite3 Data Source for Tie. Another critical bug: files with non-ASCII characters in their name do not get backed up - going to fix that in the next days. Will bump version to 0.2 then.
March 2009: After some three or four months of working out the basics of Baccus I dare to expose this baby to the rough world. It still stands on very wiggly feed so please take it up with care, and only when you know what you are doing.
I plan to use Baccus as a professional backup solution for a small webhosting company as well as for the personal computers in my family environment, so it surely will evolve over time. This release shall encourage other developers to take a look and try it out, and if it pleases to contribute bug reports, patches, ideas, or nice comments.
Baccus is hosted in a darcs repository at: http://www.magma.com.ni/repos/ , together with bits and pieces required to install and use it.
