Hi All,

For anyone following the discussions on the backup script, I've tweaked
the package slightly to overcome the quoting issue found by Mike.  I've
also added a better error message when things go wrong.  The updated
package is bio-linux-backups_0.3-6

In general, if you are relying on any backup system to preserve
important data then you can't be sure the backup is good unless you have
actually restored a system from it.  At the very least you need to keep
an eye on things to make sure everything is working as expected.

Cheers,

TIM
