Project description:
GNU `tar' saves many files together into a single tape or disk
archive, and can restore individual files from the archive. It
includes multivolume support, the ability to archive sparse files,
automatic archive compression/decompression, remote archives and
special features that allow `tar' to be used for incremental and full
backups. It also includes `rmt', the remote tape server (the `mt' tape
drive control program is in GNU `cpio').
