I've been playing with faubackup for the last few days, and I must say
I'm happy with it. Means I don't have to implement in code what I was 
pretty much planning to do anyway.

One note of warning though, its current code can't handle files larger
than 2GB. A patch I've made should find its way to Martin (the author)
in the next few days. And you will need a perl compiled with large file 
support.

Unfortunately not. But it is easy enough to modify faubackup-scatter.c, at 
line 296 and change the @ to whatever you wish.
