+* **Why does `acts` create a separate backup for each target?** This is the
+original recommended paradigm for `tarsnap`, the idea being that you save
+bandwidth (and therefore money) by only retrieving the pieces you need. If
+`/etc` gets damaged, why download the entirety of `/home`? If this paradigm
+doesn't fit your needs and workflow, there is a fork of `acts`

+backup containing all targets.
