Programming:Brackup

After needing a backup solution for a while, a long while, I've finally found what I think will be a solution: Brackup, written by Brad Fitzpatrick.

In the discussion of this page, I've written a little to do list which I plan to guide my installation on my website (hosted on dreamhost).

The goal is to backup all my shtuff to Amazon S3, though I should check the likely cost, given that my income is a *bit* low at the moment, but.

Okay, GO!

Installing Brackup

I did wget and wgot the latest file from http://search.cpan.org/~bradfitz/Brackup/. In my case version 1.06.

20:36:08 (~):$ wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/B/BR/BRADFITZ/Brackup-1.06.tar.gz
--20:36:17--  http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/B/BR/BRADFITZ/Brackup-1.06.tar.gz
          => `Brackup-1.06.tar.gz'
 (blah blah blah)
20:36:18 (641.50 KB/s) - `Brackup-1.06.tar.gz' saved [47685/47685]
20:36:18 (~):$ tar -xzf Brackup-1.06.tar.gz 
20:36:30 (~):$ cd Brackup-1.06

That's it. Though there's a Makefile.PL, make is not required for installation. I guess the makefile is just there as part of the default Perl module creation files.

Set up Brackup
