Well I think what we are really interested in is the restore part.
RaqBackup.sh/CMU does a decent job of a backup.

Explain something to me.  Why is cmu a good backup if you need to restore it
manually????  If you take my script, and basically untar it, starting from a
full back up, then do the partials, it works wonders.  With that script you
do not have to set up anything.  Look into Sausalito.  It does NOT use a
database.  It uses directories to build everything.  I also backup all of
the raq's config files, so essentially, it does the same thing.  The problem
is not many people have read up on Sausalito.  It is a real basic way of
doing things :)

It sure beats using an application that is only half finished.
