I've been adding a few features to Box Backup. I think I've got all I
want for 0.04, and am now going to get it going on platforms other than
OpenBSD, and chase down a little bug.
But is there any other (relatively small) thing anyone really wants as
soon as possible?
Changes so far:
* regex exclude (and exception to exclusions, as requested)
* bbackupquery: alias 'ls', add help in program
* config programs: excludes keys file if it might be backed up,
validates config much much more to catch the common problems seen so
far
* improved flexibility with backup timing, including the ability to do
snapshot backups (emulates more traditional backup systems)
* bbackupctl program for controlling bbackupd daemon
* bbstoreaccounts takes sizes in blocks, Mb or Gb with unit suffix
* bug fixes
* work around memory over-consumption issues with STL < v3
Basically, a few fixes, ease of use things, and the snapshot backups to
make it easier for people to adopt over other systems.
