This project has moved to GitHub https://github.com/Zipios/Zipios Zipios is a C++ library for reading and writing Zip archive files.

A set of bash-functions (probably becomes scripts instead) that perform backups (full and incremental) on blockdevices with encryption and compression using standard tools like tar and mcrypt.

Take either manual or scheduled backups using find, egrep, cpio and bzip. Supports weekly full backups, exclusions and compression. See http://bandcamp.tv/quickbackup for mailing list info and downloads
