Package: obnam Version: 0.26-1 Severity: wishlist Hello,
I am about to implement a tool that lists important files in my system that aren't included in .git repos pushed elsewhere. The idea is to backup local sensisive data (password files, delirious todo lists, unofficial work notes, accounting stuff) and make it easy to do disaster recovery by just restoring those and pulling everything else from outside git repos. Initially I thought my tool could generate a tarball, but then I thought that if I could pass the file list to obnam, I could automatically get remote storage support, encryption, deduplication and all the other goodies. Unfortunately, such an option (like tar's --files-from) doesn't exist yet. An extra fancy extensions to this idea would be to have obnam get a tarball on standard input and treat it as a file system, so that my tool could include in the backup some extra files generated on the fly, like scripts to regenerate the .git repos or diff with local changes. But I understand this last bit is something to put very deep into someday/maybe.
