Backup rotation scripts

["Michael W. Lucas" <mwlucas@michaelwlucas.com>]

Hi folks,

Some context here: I'm writing a small book about Tarsnap, and am
trying to recommend things that are both best practice and that people
are actually doing out in the real world. Colin has kindly offered me
the contents of his brain, but he has a different perspective on
Tarsnap than the users do.

An Internet search for "tarsnap backup rotation scripts" brings up a
lot of stuff. The problem with the Internet, of course, is that the
mere presence of such a script doesn't mean that it's well-supported,
works outside the author's environemnt, or that third parties are
actually using it.

So: what are you folks using to rotate your backups? Would you
recommend it to other people?

Any insight appreciated!

Thanks,
==ml
