A little background: == I've been hacking on a copy of BackupPC_archiveHost to run archives through GPG before saving them to disk. The reason for this is that, when I say "saving to disk," I mean saving to an Amazon s3 share mounted locally via s3fs

Has anyone run across 'brackup' (http://search.cpan.org/~bradfitz/Brackup-1.10/lib/Brackup.pm)? It is just a command line tool, not much like backuppc, but it appears to have some very interesting concepts for the backend storage, chunking and encrypting the files and then is able to store the
