Which doesn't seem to be available in sid currently? Anyway, before submitting patches I'd like to know some more things. I came to them because I considered which questions I had about backup services I used in the past, not because I think that I personally will have these concerns with Debian backup in the near future. - at which time of day is the backup made - for how long are the backups kept for a given service - what would valid reasons be for the DSA to extend the keep time for a given service? Or how do you decide about this time, anyway? - Would it, in principle, be possible to add home directories, or parts of them, if they provide services to the public? - What are the criteria for getting a backup rolled out - would "I deleted that file that was not yet under version control" be a request you'd happily process, or would that cause too much workload?
