awesome.. how did you noticed? I mean do you regularly check for new 
extensions at typo3.org or is there any other page/service to keep you 
informed?

I mean I just released it didn't even wrote a manual or a blog post...

Here is a brief description:
- completely php based - no system calls at all
- function to clean all temporary data (for the filesystem and DB)
- generates a filesystem backup as *.tar.gz and a DB Backup as *.sql.gz
   * it may use multiple ajax requests if the filesystem is to big for a 
single php execution (timeout) [needs extension mpm]
- a backup server can be notified to load the backupfiles
   * the backup server can afterwards contact the TYPO3 server to delete 
the already saved backups
   * a simple example of a backup server is provided
- comes with a script to deploy this complete backup (2 files) with one 
click an a server
   * means extracting, creating DB, inserting data - again may use 
multiple ajax requests for the filesystem.

so true, but sometimes its harder as you have to respect other rules... 
with your own stuff you can do whatever you like :p [I still think that 
working together is far better and I looked at the most promising backup 
solution, but nothing had any potential in my eyes (besides most were 
really, really old). So I created completebackup.

hell yeah if anyone is eager enough to test this undocumented beast - I 
got a lot to do...
