+# 2007-05-22: Changes for FHS compliance. Removed commented out
+# references to ZIP drives. Now, if the archive does not exist on the
+# client, we run save.metadata there.
+
+# 2006-04-14: Use the script ../scripts/get.target to determine the
+# host name. This makes the script more general, and maybe we can run
+# it from one place & determine the host name from the directory
+# name. Also, we now test to see if old backups exist before deleting
+# them.
+
 # 2004 04 03: added /sys to the list of excludes. It is a read-only
 # pseudo-file system like /proc.
