Gavin Carr
on a CPAN mirror near you.
This is the first release in about a year and a half, and so has many
improvements and fixes. Notably, it should be less memory hungry than
earlier versions. Upgrading is highly recommended.
From the changelog:
1.10 (2010-10-31)
- permit 0 as a filename. https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=62004
- add Riak target, allowing backups to a riak cluster (Gavin Carr)
- add uid/gid info to metafile, and use in restores (where possible)
(Gavin Carr)
- allow multiple gpg recipients to be specified, any can restore (Alex
Vandiver)
- if IO::Compress::Gzip is available, write a compressed brackup metafile in
unencrypted mode, and handle properly for reads and restores (Gavin Carr)
- remove orphaned chunks from inventory as part of garbage collection
(Gavin Carr)
- add simple config section inheritance ('inherit' directive) (Gavin Carr)

instead of scalar contents (Kostas Chatzikokolakis)

(Gavin Carr, Kostas Chatzikokolakis)

e.g. for passwords (Gavin Carr)

target multiple times (Kostas Chatzikokolakis)

--save-stats argument (Gavin Carr)
