DAR is a Disk ARchiver, for backing-up file systems to disk. It's rather
|
|
in the spirit of TAR, with some additions. Notably:
|
|
|
|
DAR can break up a archive into multiple files, to facilitate
|
|
storage on portable media, like CDs or DVDs.
|
|
|
|
Can perform incremental back-ups against a reference archive, or,
|
|
more conveniently, a "catalog" of an archive, which is sort of a
|
|
combination of a TAR table-of-contents and a file checksum list.
|
|
|
|
DAR also supports filtering, so files or directories can be excluded from
|
|
an archive, compression, filtered compression, and the inclusion of parity
|
|
in archives, to help recover from media errors.
