I guess is already in your list of backup tools to watch. But it might be easier to copy code/ideas from borg backup as is also in python. I have good experiences with the deduplication and compression features of borg. Thanks for the project, the backups in qubes are one of the mayor pains for me right now. I'm happy to see some efforts in the direction of improving them. -- meskio | http://meskio.net/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- My contact info: http://meskio.net/crypto.txt -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Nos vamos a Croatan. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-devel" group.
