+genbackupdata
+=============
+
+genbackupdata creates or modifies directory trees in ways that simulate
+real filesystems sufficiently well for performance testing of backup
+software. For example, it can create files that are a mix of small text
+files and big binary files, with the binary files containing random
+binary junk which compresses badly. This can then be backed up, and
+later the directory tree can be changed by creating new files, modifying
+files, or deleting or renaming files. The backup can then be run again.
+
+The home page is: http://braawi.org/genbackupdata.html
