Module sysinfo
source code
Provides an extension to save off important system recovery 
  information.
  This is a simple Cedar Backup extension used to save off important 
  system recovery information.  It saves off three types of 
  information:
  
    - 
      Currently-installed Debian packages via dpkg 
      --get-selections
- 
      Disk partition information via fdisk -l
- 
      System-wide mounted filesystem contents, via ls -laR
The saved-off information is placed into the collect directory and is 
  compressed using bzip2 to save space.
  This extension relies on the options and collect configurations in the
  standard Cedar Backup configuration file, but requires no new 
  configuration of its own. No public functions other than the action are 
  exposed since all of this is pretty simple.
      Note:
        If the dpkg or fdisk commands cannot be 
        found in their normal locations or executed by the current user, 
        those steps will be skipped and a note will be logged at the INFO 
        level.
