Short Description of Shrinkfish Shrinkfish together with dysfil is a "more Unixish" replacement of programs like dar, which allow you to make a protected, compressed and/or media-loss-safe backup. Shrinkfish backups are: * protected: by encryption, Shrinkfish uses the commonly used libcrypto (provided by OpenSSL), * compressed: with the help of the commonly used libz, * media-loss-safe: by using blocking compression, not pure stream compression; and, far the best: You can use the traditional Unix tools like tar and dump with all their power and compatibility together with Shrinkfish & dysfil. Both tools are designed as filters. You can use Shrinkfish and dysfil together to make copies to replaceable media like tapes, CD-Rs and DVD[+-]{R,RW}. Simply chain them: dump -0auf - $1 |shrinkfish -z1 -e -P $mypass |dysfil -f /pile2/$now.$myname.dump -b 650M -v
