Thanks for the various suggestions. The answer seems to be - if I want
to do this simply (these are unattended backups that tend to run while I
am out of the house) there is no simple way - ie I cannot run a simple

might fail tomorrow/next time with the addition of another 1000 lkml
messages in the mix.
