[BackupPC-devel] Feature Request

[Russell S. <rs...@mx...>]

Hello All,

First, let me say as a new user of BackupPC, I am quite satisfied.  It 
is an excellent backup tool!  It does almost everything I need it to.  
There are two things I would like to see added.  Both features relate to 
the Archiving feature.

The first addition I would like to see is the ability to pass the 
archive stream through GPG or some other encryption tool before the 
archive file is created.  I have been doing this as a post Archive 
script taking the file and running it through GPG but I'm running out of 
disk space.  I no longer have the ability to store both the unencrypted 
archive and the encrypted one together.

The second addition I would like is to add the ability to automatically 
archive hosts.  I'm thinking an archive attribute could be added to the 
host which schedules the archive automatically after the backup has occured.

I'm starting the process of rolling up my sleeves to make these happen.  
I'm curious if anyone else has a need for these or if they are in the 
plan to do.
