+TODO list for byteback
+======================
+
+* how do we stop backups from crashing server's kernel?
+  * locking up completely (e.g. "touch newfile" never returns)
+  * starting to run very very slowly until a btrfsck / remount
+  * often nothing to do but reboot :-/
+
+* give nilfs / zfs a go as alternatives?
+
+* smarter logging defaults for cron jobs (to syslog)
+
+* pruning doesn't work, assumes "btrfs  subvolume delete" is synchronous, which it is not.
+
+* (so introduce server-local cron job to keep on top of pruning and other stuff later)
+
+* byteback-restore program
+
+* clean ups: bundle trollop.rb, pull out cut & paste functions into library
+
+* build include/exclude list more smartly, from /proc/mounts
+
+* report differences between backups (new, deleted, changed files)
+
+* spotting a /var/lib/mysql directory and making a safe snapshot and re-copy
+  of a MySQL data directory (using FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK)
+
+* (same for postgres using pg_start_backup() and pg_stop_backup())
