I think a test suite of some sort that can exercise most of the xfer
methods with a round trip through the compression code will be
important if there is a larger team of people making changes. I've
always been impressed by the lack of serious bugs in Craig's releases
and wondered how he did it. If you have access to a lab with a few
VM's it would be great to automate tests across a few OS distributions
and versions - especially tracking changes in the samba and rsync
code. I'm retired now and no longer have access to lab resources or
anything running backuppc so I can't do much but it is such a great
project that I'd like to see it continue.

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
