File::Backup is a Perl module for easy file backup & rotation automation.

SYNOPSIS

use File::Backup;

backup( from => "/source/path", to => "/destination/path" );
backup( from => "/kansas/*", to => "/oz" );

purge_backups(
to => "/destination/path",
compress => 0,
keep => 5,
timeformat => "YYYYMMDD_hhmmss",
);

This legacy module implements archival and compression (A.K.A "backup") and file rotation and is an implementation of tar and gzip calls.
