Not sure if it's in an overlay, but I don't think it's in= portage.

Its not in the protage, I found a ebuild proposal at = bugs.gentoo but it=A0
didnt even make it to sunrise.=A0

Run eix -l backup and see how many back up tools and scripts pop up.

I know there are dozens of them in the portage. searc= hing for backup=A0
does not answer me 'you can do that by the= se packages'.=A0Perhaps if NLP=A0
is one day implemented in p= ortage, usage of gentoo user lists will reduce=A0
by half.=A0

I have been using tar, star and rsync. =A0They all work and they can all ma= ke
incremental back ups. =A0You'll find that a lot of the other 'smart= ' back up
applications are based on these anyway.

I will take a look at star, thanks.
=A0

HTH.
