compression options disabled on debian 12
par2 support
Hello! What does the "update reference archive" option on creating differential backups? DarGUI has just done a differential backup and and after finished has given the message: "Error when updating catalogue". Should I repeat now a full backup? Many thanks in advance for helping

User can now set default encryption cypher using User Preferences
Any chance to set AES or twofish as encryption standard in DarGui. Blowfish is not recommended for use anymore
This was due to changes made in Dar 2.7.0 It has been fixed in SVN and will be working correctly in the next release.
Fixed changes to compression status strings in Dar v2.7.0
I have xz, gzip, zstd etc. in /usr/bin but compression is greyed out.
Fixed bug when displaying size of empty file
Fixed bug which hung program if dar_manager returned an error when searching for versions of a file
Added option to change format of timestamp
Fixed bug where DarGUI hogged CPU unnecessarily while creating archive
Changed method of extracting status data, using header lines instead of counting brackets
Dargui expects encrypted files to be using blowfish, so it doesn't know how to open an AES encrypted file. The only solution that occurs to me is for DarGUI to try all the cyphers until one of them works: this is a rather ugly solution though...

Thanks so much for your answer, and your hard work. I hope people appreciate it.

No, it is not designed to work with tapes.
AS title suggests, I need to write to/read from LTO-2 or LTO-3 tapes. Thanks for all your hard work.
When I became aware of DAR back in I think 2007 or so, I was very excited as the backup for the systems I had at the time were not sufficient. I thought a DarGui would solve that issue and so I used the command line dar and really liked it. I thought that the open source community would embrace Dar and build a good Gui. but the DarGui of that time ,I was not able to get working and then I went to Ubuntu and they included a backup scheme which I was unable to use correctly and lost a bunch of data...
It's not possible to do remote operations using DarGUI. I think the commandline application Dar can backup remote computers using pipes and dar_slave, but I have never needed to try this.
hi, i don't see in the doc how to make a local backup and send it to on a remote computer!! is t impossible? is it possible to backup remote computers on the server? thanks T.

DarGUI for Windows always displays a current date as a Build date
Hello Malcolm, I have exactly the same problem with DarGUI for Windows 1.0 on Windows Server 2008R2. On some archives it works normally, but on most archives first I see a "Busy..." notification, and then "Access violation" error on different percentage, from 4% to 50%, depending of archive size. Is there any way to detect and solve the problem?
Dmitriy, thanks for drawing my attention to this. When the bug originally appeared DAR would not accept the \' formula, but it seems that this has changed. I should now be able to fix this for the next release of DarGUI.
Fixed bug #3 (restore fails when file name contains an apostrophe)
Added Italian localisation file (Valerio Guaglianone)
fixed broken cache-directory-tagging option
The actual size of the database is not an issue rather than the number of files contained in it: DarGUI reads the file listing before displaying it, so if there are a lot of files in the backup then this will inevitably take some time. I may be able to work out the reason for your problem if you can email me the output from listing a dar archive on your system. To do this, enter the following command in a terminal: dar -l [/path/to/archive/archive_base_name] -Q --list-format=tree No need to send...
NP, I shall try to accomplish that asap. Currently, using the rpm version from the repository, but I shall try to get a new version installed, and test there. And, BTW, if we can manage to get this working, I plan on donating a bit more than 5 bucks. ;) A side question concerning the slow rate it opens the database. Is that due to the huge size of my backup database? 1TB or so.... Thanks for getting back to me!
I have now managed to find the time to download and compile dar 2.4.17 on both 32bit and 64 bit Linux and test it with DarGUI but I have been unable to reproduce your problem. You are correct in identifying that the .batch file that you are finding is incorrectly formed. For some reason the output from dar 2.4.17 under Fedora 21 is not being parsed correctly. This has happened before, when a change to dar has changed its output and DarGUI needed updating to parse this correctly. However, dar 2.4.17...
Dargui and Fedora won't restore anything.
I made two posts 4 and 3 weeks ago outlining a problem with dargui. Not even ONE response. I will now try opening a bug report, but I fear that this great tool must be dead.

I am using Dargui 1.0 on Fedora 21 using dar 2.4.17 I can open the dar database and select files. However, try as I might it only says 0 files restored and everything excluded by filters. /tmp/dargui-cap/dargui.batch.1 is created, and I have checked the file and it seems okay, I think..... It looks like this: Files to restore -g "[ ] etc/[ ] firewall/[ ] firewall.file" However, even though I have told it where to restore, and even selected to overwrite files, NOTHING is restored at all. After coming...
I have the EXACT same issue with dargui v.1.0. I am using Fedora 21 and dar 2.4.17.

Hi Malcom, thanks a lot for your reply! You're right. Few hours after I discovered, what you have described. I apologize for my late answer ... I got no post on my mailbox about your message. Now it runs as usual. Only a little problem is present yet. I can not recover selected files, only the whole saved data. Have you a suggestion or a workaround for this? Should I open a new itme for? Greetings Giuseppe
I use DarGUI 1.0 version and faced the same problem. I found a solution for Windows although I am not sure how it works in other operating systems. The problem is about all files having an apostrophe in their names, e.g.: -g "backup/PLANO 06.2 (ST-2' Y ST-3) (RU).pdf" In this case the following error occurs: Parse error: Unmatched `"' It can be solved by replacing (') with (\') The name should be like: -g "backup/PLANO 06.2 (ST-2\' Y ST-3) (RU).pdf" After that the file can be restored.
Hi Giuseppe, I'm glad DarGUI has been useful to you. Congratulations! You have found a bug! I think you have changed your User Preferences by accident. Please open the User Preferences window ( Edit->User Preferences ) and go to the "Archive Creation" tab. Make sure the option "Ignore tagged cache directories" is NOT selected - I have just discovered that it does not work. Click on OK and your problem should stop. I will prepare another release of DarGUI soon to fix the cache-directory problem. Another...
I've been using DarGUI for several years and I find it, the best backup program I ever used, wenn you don't need sync kopies. Actually sometimes I got some problems depending on missed libraries supplied by Suse. But it is running well for some years again. But today it will not run anymore and its text box gives following message: Arguments read from /etc/darrc : User target found on command line or included file(s): --cache-directory-tagging Parse error: Given user target(s) could not be found:...
