  Description     : disk-based client-server backup system (Perl)

dbackup is a disk-based client-server backup system. It works on the
principal that disks are cheaper and more reliable than tapes.

Backups are started by cron probably on a daily basis by the client.
The client backs up individual filesystems / directories with tar and
sends the result to the server, which stores them in a simple
tree-based directory structure.

Restores are trivial, either by using the supplied restore client, or
by simply copying the appropriate tar files off the server and
uncompressing them.

- Backup very large filesystems as long as you have the disk space
- Works with very large numbers of servers / filesystems
- No state is kept on the client, it's all on the server
- Backup to multiple backup servers in round-robin
- Configuration can be global or per-server
- Authentication for client restores (optional)
- Trivial procedure for restores
- Daily / Full incremental backups

Uses:

- Perl version 5.005 or above is required, but much better performance
  will be seen with 5.6 or above.
- Digest::MD5

Hello,

This is an automatic mail sent to close the ITP you have reported or 
are involved with.

Your ITP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 365 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.

As this is an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not 
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the ITP is still of your interest, or there has been 
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).

To re-open it, you simply have to mail control@bugs.debian.org
with a body text like this:

 reopen 271732
 stop

Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
271732@bugs.debian.org would be truly welcomed.
Anyway, if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.

A similar process is being applied to other kind of wnpp bugs.

Thanks for your cooperation,

 -- David Moreno Garza <damog@debian.org>.
