I'm assuming this doesn't help with backuppc because of the whole perl module thing ? It would be interesting to see how "fuzzy" the filenames can be? 20090601_Master_Backup.tar 20090602_Master_Backup.tar or Master_Backup_etc_0001.blah Master_Backup_etc_0002.blah or Master Backup Tue Jun 10 2009.blah Master Backup Wed Jun 11 2009.blah The first two are only one char different (and at most 5 or 6 chars different (20091231 -> 20100101)) however the last one is more "fuzzy"... Would be fantastic if backuppc was able to deal with this also!
