Re: Script to manage backups with Tarsnap -

[Robert Clemens <robert@solidsolutions.net>]

All tarsnap scripts are welcome and I'd like to look at this one in particular.

But as a side-note may I recommend (as I currently use) Tim Bishop's tarsnap script
http://www.bishnet.net/tim/tarsnap/run.sh

I have made some minor changes but it works very well.
