Or you could use $Conf{DumpPreUserCmd} to run wget and XferMethod
tar or something similar to pickup the tree created by wget. Note
that there is no difference between incremental or full backups in
this case since every file will be re-written by wget.
Long term I was planning to add wget as an XferMethod to
support ftp and http, but it is pretty far down the list.
This would allow things like the admin interfaces of
network HW to be backed up, so if the box dies you can
at least browse the most recent configuration settings.
(No notion of restore of course.) Plus you could see when
pages change between backups, either manually using the
history feature or as part of the tripwire feature on the
proposed feature list.
