=======

Perform incremental backups using a fossil repository as a storage. Each

backup ends up in a new commit where files are added / removed / modified

according to their staus with respect to the previous commit.

Files to include / exclude from the backup are specified in a configuration

file (see -conf option below), which consists of one "include" and one

"exclude" section, in which files or directories to include / exclude from

the backup are listed, separated by whitespace (\n, \t, space, ...).

Directories are searched recursively. Example:

    include {

        /path/to/file/to/include

        /path/to/directory/to/include

        /another/1 another/2 another/3

    }

    exclude {

        /path/to/file/to/exclude

        /path/to/directory/to/exclude

    }

In addition, the exclude-match section provides a way to exclude files which

name match one of the listed patterns.

    exclude-match {

        *.tar.gz

        *.exe

    }

The software is written in Tcl and depends on fossil, and tcllib. Files are hard-linked from their location on disk into the temporary checkout using cpio.

Usage:

    fbackup : ./fbackup.tcl [options]

    options:

     -conf   value    Path to the backup list file      <./fbackup.list>

     -cpio   value    Path to the "cpio" executable     

     -fossil value    Path to the "fossil" executable   

     -name   value    Name of the backup project        

     -repo   value    Path to the repository file       <./fbackup.fossil>
