Tarsnap is great. Some things that would have been nice: * Automatic archive naming. I would love to just type tarsnap-backup stuff/ or something, and it would pick a name based on the folder name and a timestamp. * It seems a little too easy to delete archives. Perhaps a way to lock an archive so it cannot be deleted or modified without unlocking first. * If you backup a symlink to a folder, tarsnap will only backup the symlink itself. Perhaps this is the best way to do it, but it means you may think you have backed up something, but actually haven't. A warning message perhaps?
