Create automated tests #19

A good testing regime could include the following:

Perform an initial backup
Verify volume
Perform an incremental backup
Verify volume
Prune first backup
Verify volume
Diff volume (cross-check with source vol data)

Changing program_name in the code could allow the test data set to be created under a different base folder name without interfering with real-life backup data.

Other areas I recommend testing:

Deliberately tamper with the archive, and check that the tampering is detected on restore.
Attempt to roll back the archive to an earlier version, and test that this is detected.
