Hi Pete,

Sorry, I hadn't thought about the services side of things. Give me a few 
days and I'll provide a way to set the service name as well.

I'm glad, I found it very useful when debugging configurations as well.

You can always give a config file, although some options ignore it.
-c is optional, but if given, must be immediately followed by the config 
file name (and not -i or any other option).

If -c is not given, the last argument is the config file name. /? is 
simply not implemented, i haven't thought of a good way to give help text 
without writing it all out in the code (maybe xslt the man page source 
into C code?). -r ignores the config file.

Default verbosity level should at least print when the backup starts and 
stops, I'll look into it.

That's a bug, I'll look into it, thanks.

Cheers, Chris.
