DAR ('''D'''isk '''Ar'''chive) is an archiving tool and a replacement for Tar .

It features:
  • Support for slices, archives split over multiple files of a particular size.

  • Option of deleting files from the system which are removed in the archive.

  • Incremental backup.

  • Per-file compression with Gzip or Bzip2 (as opposed to compressing the whole archive). An individual can choose not to compress already compressed filenames based on their suffix as well.

  • Fast-extracting of files from anywhere in the archive.

  • Fast listing of archive contents through saving the catalogue of files in the archive.

  • Optional Blowfish encryption.



There is a GUI frontend for dar called Kdar .

A scheduler/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.
