Very impressive. Some questions and comments: - Tiger hash: What happens in case of collisions (i.e. different data blocks having the same hash)? - gdbm as a storage backend: if you want a light-weight but more efficient/recent variant of dbm, please consider tokyocabinet too. - What I always wanted to add to other backup systems: an option to rely on mtime of directories: if the mtime of a directory has not changed, skip the whole directory for testing. In some scenarios (and with careful users/scripts that ensure update of directories' mtime!), this will give you a performance boost). - I will test ugarit with 500 GB and 20 million files ... or is this too early?
