What I'm thinking now is the following:=20
see how this tar/hdup2 thingy plays out and in the meantime I'm
pondering about hdup3:
- python based (it's really time for me to learn this :-) )
  all the benefits of a higher language (should even run on
  windows)
- indeed use dar
- not sure about any restore capability

This would yield a small fast and simple backup program.


Btw, I'm (slowly) moving to another house, so any real implementation
will not start until the summer,
