[hosers-announce] backups

[Joel Uckelman <uckelman@xxxxxxxxx>]

If you have a directory the contents of which you do *not* wish to be 
included in the daily incremental and weekly full backups, make a file 
called .nobak in that directory.

E.g., if you don't want ~/goatpr0n to be backed up, do the following:

touch ~/goatpr0n/.nobak

It's that easy. Of course, if you do that and my drive dies, don't complain 
when all of your goat pr0n is gone. :)

Why did I change the backup scripts to do this? Because I recently 
downloaded RH9, and I don't want the whole distribution to be included in 
the weekly backup. Rather than explicitly exclude that directory, I thought 
I should do this the right way and make it available to everyone.)
