62 Well, I first used eix backup. My thinking was this, if one searches
63 first for something with "backup" in it, they should notice a lot of
64 apps in the app-backup category even tho they might not know it existed
65 before that. At that point, pot of gold with this:
66
67 eix app-backup/*
68
69 Thing is, he may not have eix installed. :/

71 Either way works tho. :-D

73 Me, I just use rsync and call it a day.
