I would like to donate a .tar.lz driver that I have written for myself.
It uses lzip, which uses LZMA compression. LZMA compresses better than bzip2, but at the expense of more memory usage.
Please test it and let me know what can be improved.

Can I add something to your "nice to have" list?
Allow Max_Full to be bigger?
At the moment the max is 8,
but I would like to keep monthly full backups.
To keep monthly full backups, one needs max_full = 12
but when max_full is set to anything greater than 8, it just keeps creting new backups
without deleting old ones, eg:

Steps to reproduce:
1. Make backup
2. Change time zone
3. Estimate backup
New backup has the same size as old one because all files are threated as modified.

By default, symlinks are not followed, but stored as they are. In your first example: Jim's homedir will be stored once, namely as part of the directory /mnt/harddrive. In your second example, only a symlink to "mnt/myharddrive/jim" will be saved.

Assuming I have mounted a harddrive in /mnt/myharddrive and have a symlink from /mnt/myharddrive/jim to /home/george, what will happen, if I tell backup2l to backup /mnt and /home? Will Jim's homedir be contained twice in the archive?
Furthermore, if I only backup /home, will I have the complete content of Jim's homedir in the archive or just the symlink?.

Use GNU tar's options --no-unquote --quoting-style=literal to avoid problems with special characters in filenames (like brackets, stars or backlsashes), see:
http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_chapter/Choosing.html#SEC107
With this options, you can remove the second sed-expression in do_restore as describe in Bug-ID 2487254.

You mentioned at the beinning of this thread that:
"The limit in MAX_LEVEL is actually a bug in the documentation (thanks for pointing me to it!). I have never tested excessively large numbers here, but they should work."
I tried:
MAX_FULL=12
but it is ignored.
I have been making monthly full backups, and when it should have stopped t 12 (and deleted the 1st...
