This is to announce a very simple yet useful wrapper around the GNU tools 'find', 'cpio', 'gzip' and 'zcat'. The script makes is easy to do a verified backup of a hierarchy of directories using sane tool options (I hope !). Restoring a few files from the archive selected by a pattern is simple and straightforward. Filenames with non ASCII characters are restored correctly. If they are shown correctly, depends on the setting of LC_ALL. A recipe for success is included in the script. The homepage is here: http://www.net-es.dk/~pj/python/backup-admin/ Give it a spin and tell me if it works for you. /Per
