Tarsnap backup case study wanted

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

Hi,

I want to include some real-world application backups in my Tarsnap
book. Given a couple good examples, I figure users can extrapolate
their own backup scenarios.

I have one good example, my Wordpress sites. Fairly simple, but
definitely a real-world database-driven application.

But I'm looking for a second interesting example. And am stumped. Most
of the software I've worked with are database-driven web apps. So I'm
reaching out to the community.

Do you have an interesting Tarsnap backup that's not a db-driven web
app? What do you have to do to back it up?

Ideally I'd like something I can realistically reproduce in my lab, so
that I can write from firsthand knowledge.

I'd ask Colin but, well, he has no clue what you're backing up. ;-)

Thanks for any ideas! And Happy New Year.
