Well, I first used eix backup.  My thinking was this, if one searches
first for something with "backup" in it, they should notice a lot of
apps in the app-backup category even tho they might not know it existed
before that.  At that point, pot of gold with this:

eix app-backup/*

Thing is, he may not have eix installed.  :/=20

Either way works tho.  :-D=20

Me, I just use rsync and call it a day.=20
