#  Methods file
#
#  Entries in this file are composed of two fields. The first is a method
#  tag with which entries in the cycles file reference methods defined here.
#  The second field is the method. This can be whatever you want, but should
#  include placeholders for the required parameters of a backup namely
#  the source device, diretory or file (FROMDEV), the destination device or 
#  file (TODEV) and the date for which files modified since this date should
#  be included in the backup (FROMDATE).
#

#
#  This method doesn't actually make a backup at all it just prints the 
#  files that have changed. Note the continuation lines and the way of 
#  including a required placeholder without actually using it.
