The advantage of using glastree over pdumpfs is that it is implemented
in Perl rather than Ruby (this is in fact the reason that I encountered
it in the first place).
As for using pdumpfs or glastree instead of dirvish, as far as I can
tell (not having previously examined dirvish) they require no
configuration, and may be simpler to use. dirvish seems to be designed
to run from a single backup server for potentially multiple clients.
pdumpfs and glastree are designed to be run strictly on a single client.
