Dear dar/libdar users, I'm looking for use cases over the original target dar was initially built for (home backup on CD/DVD). I remember some recently mentioned HPC (High Performance Computing) use case, some others I think, but that's quite long ago now, were using dar for archiving large volume of telescope pictures...(?) My objective is to add a page on dar's home page listing original, unexpected uses of dar/libdar. This may be directly using dar or through a frontend/external application (SaraB/Baras, gdar, dar-backup...) or from your own code in C/C++, Python or even now D language. If you're interested in that project, you could for example give the following infos: - company/username/or stay anonymous if you prefer - at what time this use case started (just the year is fine) and eventually ended - use case description - typical size created for backups/archives - media used (disk/tape/cloud...) - key dar/libdar features/differentiators that lead you choosing dar for this use case - everything else that does not fit in the previous items ---- I will then make a 7 columns table of this info, if there enough entry for it makes sense, of course. I have no objection to make advertisement to private or public organization in return, thus you are welcome to add an URL/link to your organization or home page. Cheers, Denis |
