Backup and "-deleted" files

I was going to ask if backup.py does anything "smart" like ignore
the "-deleted" files left by packing, but then I looked at the source
and answered myself:
Yes, it skips those. They are not included in
full backups.

Just thought somebody else might like to know :)

I'm wondering though... is piping find into cpio into gzip really faster
or in some other way better than doing something like:

tar --exclude="*-deleted" -czvf backup-foo.tgz A

-PW
