HI, We have just added tarsnap to our OSS project, cross-compiled using Buildroot.
Tarsnap is a gem, works exactly as described, minor learning curve. Questions ... 1) Does tarsnap-keygen force unique machine-name's ? In other words if a previously registered tarsnap.key with --machine foo and later another "tarsnap-keygen --machine foo ..." was attempted will that fail with an error ? I would normally simply test this, but decided to play it safe and ask. 2) Is it best practice to create a single snapshot archive containing all the desired files, or would creating 2 or 3 snapshot archives all at the same time with non-overlaping scopes for organization and restore purposes be useful ? It would seem 2 or 3 snapshot archives might add some extra metadata overhead and would probably take longer to archive, but for relatively small appliance-like systems would the organization benefit of 2 or 3 snapshot archives ever be useful?
