storebackup for Debian
----------------------

You can drop configuration files in /etc/storebackup.d/ and they will be run,
sequentially, once a day. The configuration file names have to consist entirely
of letter, digits, underscores and hyphens. If you're not running this computer
7*24, have a look at anacron or fcron, which can handle downtime better.

Make shure you write logs to stdout (see plusLogStdout option) too, so that cron
can send them to you in it's error mails.

exceptTypes=Scb is really useful to suppress warnings when storebackup comes
across a device file or socket.

Differences to upstream:
- All commands have been stripped off the .pl suffix.

Hint:
I use gzip instead of bzip2, since for me it compresses just as well,
but a lot faster.

For your backup size estimations:
- my $HOME:
sum of source = 795M (833665730)
sum of target all = 674M (706496676)
sum of target all = 84.75%
