[Opensim-users] Autobackup Question

[Justin Clark-Casey]

I originally added this module as a contribution and somewhat regretted it, as the original submitter didn't stick 
around to write doc or debug it and I've never found time to do either.  So I can't say much about how it works (or not) 
and don't have much time to change that fact.  However, Alicia Raven did contribute a fix recently in c1bdd22, though 
that was on 4th June so should have been in your code.

It was one of those marginal calls.  I can see where autobackup to OARs could be pretty useful - I've been in a few 
situations now where people ideally would like to be able to restore the state of a region at known checkpoints.  But 
it's a complicated thing to do well (esp. if one wants to avoid it taking up huge amounts of disk space) and may 
arguably be better left to a more complete external system.
