I've done a little improving on the `backup-cvs-work' script I wrote. The new copy is in:
<URL:http://master.debian.org/~karlheg/Perl/>
There are some example files to go along with it.
`backup-cvs-work' will take a list of checkout directories, and then
look in those for files that are either not under CVS control or that
have been modified according to `cvs -f -n update -R'. It makes a
list of what it finds, and creates a backup archive of just those
files.
I use this for my `sparse' backup system... I back up the repository
itself, then just the changed files from the working checkouts. It
also works for backing up what you've locally modified from a remote
anon cvs checkout.
Since the archives are name extended with the full path to the work
directory, and with the directory owner's login, the archive
filenames are both unique and easy to see whos stuff is in them and
from where.
I hope this saves a lot of backup tape.
