interesting, at first glance it might help me out, but i don't know for sure. i'm a bit worried though that the debian package doesn't look like it is actively maintained. i have old backups in tar format. will backup2l allow those to be used as a source in such a way that each one is not duplicated without having to unpack them first? ages ago i used bup and it was ok, but i really did not like the presentation for going back and finding things. this was a long time ago though and now perhaps it isn't so bad. doesn't matter now as i have no old bup anyplace. ultimately i really need a way to do backups that will deduplicate and must be 100% bulletproof and stable. songbird
