Dar (disk archiver)
dar (disk archive) is a computer program, a command-line archiving and backup tool intended as a replacement or alternative to tar in Unix-like operating systems.[citation needed]
The feature set of Dar is vast: it encompass the care taken to involve many if not all attributes and properties of files under backup, to the way this data is wrapped with selective compression, encryption, slicing associated to a very rich set of filtering mechanism (based on filename, pathname, Extended Attribute presence, filesystem location, and so forth) to select the data under the operation, where the operation is one of the following: backup, restoration, content listing, archive testing, backup isolation (copying the table of content into a separated file for redundancy and easier differential backup), merging and repairing. Here follows a more detailed list of features:
There are GUI frontends for dar called:
A text-mode browser/extractor: plugin for dar files in mc (Midnight Commander).
A scheduler / command-line frontend known as SaraB allows the Towers of Hanoi, Grandfather-Father-Son, or any custom backup rotation strategy, and modifications are available for PAR file support. Extended versions known as bzSaraB and baras are also available.
