BackupPC is a fast, enterprise-grade backup system. It provides
a web-based user interface. It supports several platforms (Unix-like,
Windows, MacOSX) to backup to a disk-based storage.
No client-side software is necessary, as the BackupPC server uses
several protocols (smb, rsync, tar and ftp) native to the client OS.
File-level deduplication combined with optional compression minimizes
the disk space needed to store the backups and disk I/O and enables
synthetic backups to reduce network traffic.
BackupPC is not a block-level backup system but performs file-based
backup and restore. Thus it is not suitable for backup of disk
images or raw disk partitions.
BackupPC supports laptop environments with clients on dynamic
IP addresses (DHCP) not always connected to the network.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.
