.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBshbackup\fR is a simple backup solution
which packs user-defined file sets with tar. Each
backup belongs to an epoch, which can be year, month,
week, day, hour or sporadic. The backup can be made
either full, differential or incremental.
\fBshbackup\fR takes care for pruning old
backups. The user defines for each epoch the number of
backups to keep, except for 'sporadic'. Sporadic
backups need to be removed manually.
