In no particular order.. (mainly for my reference)


bad block marking "Forrest Gump <a.einstein@unforgettable.com>"
option to erase log file after operation "Forrest Gump <a.einstein@unforgettable.com>"
don't try to verify excluded files
what happens with unattended backups and full tapes?
auto verify after backup
mail receipient a paramater
probelm with status screen if dir size off
Unattended verify/mkinfo "Ingmar Greiser" <I.Greiser@raptor.in-berlin.de>
fix archive diff option
trim log file during backup not at end (deas@rrz.uni-hamburg.de (Andreas Steffan))
don't update file access times
keyboard accelerators
in restore, print tape that a file is one
don't use $HOME but ~ in preferences
taper --file-set=xxx (Alan Shutko ats@hubert.wustl.edu)
add suffix to existing files (Andrew Gockel)
view log file
use SCSI info from vfos
incremental backups on new tape (MH)
links - SOFT and HARD - Preston/Crow preston.crow@dancer.dartmouth.edu
recursive link detection
docs about errors/making boot disks
Store soft link information in info file
pgp encryption
info file at end - probably not possible
handle screen resizes & screen redraws
allow selection of volume details for backup/restore

support sparse files
add mouse support
backup set names problem (Gary Ward, garyw@netcom.com)
regex selection/unselection (Dave Lane, root@stan.lincoln.ac.nz)

NEW FORMAT:

write a special record at end of each volume
checksum stored at end of file so file only read once
volume details should have a field to say include or exclude selection

INFO
file magic number
name_len should be 16 bit
change off_t/dev/mode/time/uid/gid to machine independent formats
file sizes etc.. should all be 64 bit to stop 4Gb limit
need some way of identifying hard links
