+This is a backup script. It's completely desperate for documentation.
+
+Comments and patches are always welcome; please send them to my email address,
+albertogli@telpin.com.ar.

+Thanks,

+Using bzip2 compression (and default sha1 checksum):
+
+use		original	abk
+mailboxes	387Mb		137Mb
+home		505Mb		330Mb
+total		892Mb		467Mb
+compression ratio: 0.523
+
+mailboxes: My mailboxes folder, several files in mbox format with varying
+sizes (total about 350Mb), and the rest are older mailboxes already compressed
+with bzip2.
+
+home: My home directory, which comprises mostly of tons of small files; the
+most important directory is my development one, with 229Mb and tons of source
+code files, most of them small (way under 15k); and my pictures also take up
+some space, 128Mb, mostly .jpg files (and thus not so compressable); the rest
+is mostly configuration files and a little bit of documentation.
+
+It took about 10 minutes to do a full backup, from scratch, on my P4 2.8Ghz,
+HT enabled, 512Mb ram.
