Brackup (1.06)

Excellent app, even better than I expected. I used Brackup to back up 55 GB of data (200k+ files) to Amazon S3, and to keep it in sync weekly. It took a while to find all the dependencies needed on my debian stable linux system but was well worth it in the end.

The previous review doesn't make any sense -- Brackup is an application, not a general-purpose library, and is documented like an application ("why was it written", "how do you use it" -- not "what's the public interface to this class"). I don't know how you'd be able to do anything with it without discovering that, since even the synopsis for Brackup.pm shows you a commandline and not any Perl at all.

And at that it's an awfully useful application, which exactly solved a problem I had: remote backups somewhere you have a lot of space but no privacy.

There's a bit to go before a 1.0 release, especially in the number of supported backup targets (filesystem is doable, but I'd rather just scp the chunks around), but it's a turnkey remote-backup solution otherwise.

Another promissing module (judging by the sub modules names) that is made completly worthless by the lack of documentation. It's not even stating what the goal of htis is.

I really hope to put a 5 stars on the next (documented) version.

Nadim.
