You should also look into the package backup2l. I don't think it is in woody (it is in sarge), but it is a bash script whose only Depends is a very old version of findutils, so installing it should not require you to upgrade any other packages. It provides the backup "strategy", and lets you choose the archiving program. It provides "drivers" for .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, and .afioz, but allows you to add simple bash "drivers" for any other archiving tool you want to use. ...Marvin
