Glad my shitware is of help to you. :)

I'd veto this on the basis of it (clone) being incomplete
as a replacement for disk/mkfs for the described backup
managing task. Primarily, it has to (1) learn to read the
"job" in the form of a proto file, and (2) be able to filter
out "up to date" files.
The current code kinda sucks (don't you judge me!) which
makes these two things more difficult to implement than ideal.
Writing a fresh version which takes into account the above
points should be easy with the benefit of hindsight.
Unfortunately I'm quite busy typing C++ at work which leaves
me with very little motivation to touch computers in my spare
time.
Sorry.
