dobackup.pl - Automates unattended incremental backups of multiple servers

'dobackup.pl' is a script to run unattended incremental backups of multiple servers. It handles multiple media sets with automatic media preparation and rotation, configurable 'what-to-backup', global per-host exclusion patterns, and user settable 'don't-back-this-up' metafiles. Its design goal is zero-maintenance, ideally leaving the user with nothing to do except change the media when told.
