=head2 Examples

Save all the files listed in C<files_to_backup.txt> (one per line) to Dropbox:

  $ stasis --destination ~/Dropbox --files files_to_backup.txt --passphrase mysecretkey
  $ stasis -de ~/Dropbox -f files_to_backup.txt --passphrase mysecretkey

Use passfile instead of passphrase

  $ stasis -de ~/Dropbox -f files_to_backup.txt --passfile /path/to/passfile

Use referrer GPG key to encrypt

  $ stasis -de ~/Dropbox -f files_to_backup.txt -r keyname@example.com

Ignore the files matching patterns in C<.stasisignore>

  $ stasis -de ~/Dropbox -f files_to_backup.txt -r keyname@example.com -i .stasisignore

Verbose mode

  $ stasis -de ~/Dropbox -f files_to_backup.txt -r mygpgkey@email.com -v

Only keep the last 4 backups

  $ stasis -de ~/Dropbox -f files_to_backup.txt --passphrase mysecretkey -l 4

Only make weekly backups

  $ stasis -de ~/Dropbox -f files_to_backup.txt --passphrase mysecretkey --days 7

=head1 REQUIREMENTS/DEPENDENCIES

=over 4

=item * GnuPG

=item * GNU tar

=item * Perl

=back

C<stasis> has been tested on Linux with GNU tar v 1.28, GnuPG v1.4.19 and Perl 5.20.2. It should work on many earlier versions too.

=head1 BUGS/LIMITATIONS

If C<--files> contains the temp or destination location in it, C<tar> will create an infinite loop.

When a passphrase or file is provided, symmetric GPG encryption is done using AES256 cipher algorithm. At the time of development
this is considered secure, but only as strong as the passphrase used to encrypt the data.
