1 Watching the bugs without a real home, I've seen a lot of new bugs
2 requesting packages that perform backup tasks.
3
4 The tree has collected a reasonable number of packages dealing with backup
5 already, and it's not exactly easy to find them.
6
7 So I'd like opinions on a new category, for backup tools. Also I'd like to know
8 who's interested in joining a herd to support this category.
