Tarsnap wrapper which expires backups using a gfs-scheme

A wrapper around tarsnap which does two things

  • Lets you define “backup jobs” tarsnap invocations in a config file, though on it’s own this has little advantage over just using a a shell script.
  • The ability to expire old backups using a Grandfather-father-son backup scheme. This feature can be used in conjunction with tarsnapper backup jobs, or standalone, to be applied to any existing set of tarsnap backup archives, regardless of how they have been created.
