Well, I first used eix backup. My thinking was this, if one searches first for something with "backup" in it, they should notice a lot of apps in the app-backup category even tho they might not know it existed before that. At that point, pot of gold with this: eix app-backup/* Thing is, he may not have eix installed. :/ Either way works tho. :-D Me, I just use rsync and call it a day. Dale :-) :-)
