hdup for Debian
---------------
To use hdup you need to provide a minimal configuration file named
/etc/hdup/hdup.conf. An example file is provided in /usr/share/doc/hdup.
Details about its format are given in hdup.conf(5) man page.
See also the hdup man pages for other information.
Due to some inconsistencies in tar, as explained in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2005-02/msg00057.html
hdup2 can misbehave: the ownership/permission information of
directories/subdirectories are getting lost when restoring
from backup. This is documented in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=302790
There is a patch for tar available if you need to solve this issue
from scratch: /usr/share/docs/hdup/tar-1.15.1.patch but note that
it is not supported by neither tar upstream or its Debian maintainer.
A final note: hdup is in maintainance(legacy) mode currently,
no new features will be added in the near future.
