sorry, no, but I haven't forgotten it. I'm currently not finding much time
for BackupPC stuff. It's not the only thing I promised someone that I
haven't gotten around to yet :(. The "few days" were a bit optimistic, I
guess, but you didn't sound as if it was urgent.

Several people have asked about searching for files in backups. I guess that
could be integrated (maybe as '-f regexp' option), and a '-l' for listing
file attributes might come in handy too. On the other hand, a BackupPC_find
approach for searching could equally be used to list all files (with -print
for names only or -ls for stats). It would be far more powerful, but the
option parsing sounds rather complicated (unless it can be copied from
find2perl). There could even be an option '-zexec' for executing a command
on an uncompressed copy of the file in question. Suggestions welcome.

Regards,
Holger
