pyBackPack 0.4

My holiday and the Google Summer of Code both ended on the 1st of September, and they were great fun.
I put together the final (as far as being accepted for my SoC submission) release of pyBackPack and it's the best yet.

Bugs
If you come across any bugs or problems don't hesitate to get in touch, either by leaving a comment here, e-mailing me, or using the bug tracking system at http://sucs.org/~davea/trac

Thanks
I'd like to say a huge thanks to Elliot Lee (my mentor from Red Hat) for all his help, guidance and invaluable advice.
Also to Graham Cole (chckens) and Jeremy Katz for bug spotting, and pointing out some of my slightly weird interface design choices. :)
I almost forgot! My eternal gratitude goes to Jen for letting me take her laptop on holiday so I could work and for putting up with my hacking instead of relaxing by the pool. :D

Of course, it's not finished yet, and all you hundreds of faithful readers will be pleased to know that the future releases of pyBackPack will be documented right here. ;)

Hi,

I just wanted to drop a note as I'm doing my not so regular backup today ;)

I'm using a custom shellscript, and some other tools for this, but I'm definitly looking forward to check out pyBackPack soon. :)

A better solution than rsync looks to be tsync.
Basically is a moderm rsync with many improvments.
It's still considered beta, but even with that looks to be more productive and stable than rsync (or unison or other sync software around).
