rdup itself does not backup anything; it only prints a list of the names of
files that have changed since the last backup. It also handles files that are
removed, allowing for correct incremental backups.
Example scripts that implement a backup strategy are included.
(These scripts require GNU date and cp, which are not installed by
this FreeBSD port.)

those who can not upgrade to 3.x. Besides security/infrastructure fixes
this port is not likely to see any functional upgrades.

Thanks to: miwi for build-testing
rather adapt it to suit a slightly different purpose.
Below are a few main points and reasons as to why we've created filetype:
* file does not work so well for loosely defined filetypes ( ie, vCards )
* file uses a text-based type database which can impose unwanted delays
in frequently invoked processes
* file does not have a heirachial type tree (ie, executable->MSDOS->EXE )
* file is not designed to be incorporated at a source level into existing
projects
* Simpler and broader type detection engine ( 'file' is very good at
pulling out every detail about a file, ie, the resolution of an image,
however we do not wish to seek out such fine details )

them to save space. This port was inspired by the application samefile
written by Jens Schweikhardt. It has a own version of samefile that is
noticeable faster and is able to process very large file list.
This port contains the applications: samefile, samelink and samearchive.
The latter does the same as samefile but for file-based archives. The
port also contains a version that uses just 10% of the resources compared
to samearchive. The application samelink (hard) links files for you.
Typical usage would be:
find / | samefile -i | samelink
This would search for identical files and clean up wasted disk space by
linking them together. Add the option -n after samelink for a dry-run.

FUSE. Afuse currently implements the most basic functionality that can
be expected by an automounter; that is it manages a directory of virtual
directories. If one of these virtual directories is accessed and is not
already automounted, afuse will attempt to mount a filesystem onto that
directory. If the mount succeeds the requested access proceeds as normal,
otherwise it will fail with an error.
The advantage of using afuse over traditional automounters is that afuse
is designed to run entirely in user-space by individual users. This way an
automounting action can take advantage of the invoking users environment,
for example allowing access to an ssh-agent for password-less sshfs
mounts, or allowing access to a graphical environment to get user input
to complete a mount (i.e. popping up a window asking for a password).

Among others, it offers support for on-demand disk buffering, reliable syslog
over TCP, SSL, TLS and RELP, writing to databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle,
and many more), email alerting, fully configurable output formats (including
high-precision timestamps),the ability to filter on any part of the syslog
message, on-the-wire message compression, and the ability to convert text
files to syslog.
It is a drop-in replacement for stock syslogd and able to work with the same
configuration file syntax. Its advanced features make it suitable for
enterprise-class, encryption protected syslog relay chains while at the same
time being very easy to setup for the novice user.
Version 4.x.x is still in devel stage and can show stability issues.
