>Description:

	I find /var/backups very handy and used to add more test/copy
	lines for local files to /etc/daily but had to do it again
	after every upgrade.  This made me think that it would be
	handy to generalise the code in /etc/daily.  Below is a
	fairly simple shell script to do this.

	Please replace the code in /etc/daily with that below.  The new
	code is about 100 bytes larger but saves files with their
	full pathname.

>How-To-Repeat:
