+define(«DESCRIPTION1», «dnl
+PACKAGE() maintains hardlink-based snapshots of a given directory on
+a remote or local host using rsync's link-dest feature. The snapshots
+are organized so that any snapshot can directly be deployed as an
+(emergency) replacement for the primary system.»)
+
+define(«DESCRIPTION2», «dnl
+PACKAGE() is admin friendly: It is easy to configure and needs
+little attention after the initial setup. In particular, no full,
+incremental or differential backups need to be configured, and there is
+no database to maintain. PACKAGE() is also user-friendly: Assuming the
+snapshot server allows read-only user access over the network, users
+can restore accidentically removed files without admin intervention,
+using their favorite file browser to copy files from the snapshot
+directory back to the primary system.»)
+
+define(«DESCRIPTION3», «dnl
+PACKAGE() keeps track of the age and the state of existing snapshots and
+triggers snapshot creation and removal according to the configuration
+settings. It tries to maintain a scheme where many recent snapshots
+and few old snapshots exist, for example 16 snapshots newer than a
+week, 8 snapshots between one and two weeks old, 4 snapshots between
+two and three weeks old, and so on.»)
