DAR

Meet DAR, an advanced archiving and backup utility designed for performance and security. It uses selective compression, avoiding the re-compression of already compressed files for maximum speed. Your data is protected with strong encryption and archives can be split for flexibility. DAR supports differential backups with binary delta for extreme efficiency and can transfer archives directly to remote servers via FTP/SFTP. The built-in catalog allows for lightning-fast file restoration from huge, distributed archives, even on cloud storage, by fetching only the required pieces of data. DAR is meticulous, preserving all UNIX inode types, hard links, sparse files, Extended Attributes, and filesystem-specific metadata, making it the perfect tool for comprehensive data protection.
