bakonf is a python script that creates a backup of all your configuration files, plus some extra informations about the system it runs on, to create a rescue archive. This archive can be used to recreate the system, in case of emergencies.

Its aim is to use various methods in order to reduce the size of the backup to a reasonable minimum, in order to be useful for remote/unattended servers, while still backing up enough to recreate the system.

Requirements:
bakonf can run ony any Unix-like system which has python installed:

1. python 2.2 with dependecies:
optik, a command line parser for python
tarfile, a module for tar file manipulation for python, tested version 0.6.4 or newer
python-bz2, a bz2 module for python (required only if you want to use bzip2 compression for generated archives)

2. python 2.3, which contains all needed modules

What's New in This Release:
bakonf.py, Makefile: Prepare for new realease compatible with python 2.3
