Watching the bugs without a real home, I've seen a lot of new bugs
requesting packages that perform backup tasks.

The tree has collected a reasonable number of packages dealing with backup
already, and it's not exactly easy to find them.

So I'd like opinions on a new category, for backup tools. Also I'd like to know
who's interested in joining a herd to support this category.
