[Devil-linux-software] Disk ARchive 2.4.0 has been released [freshmeat.net]

[freshmeat.net <no...@fr...>]

Dear freshmeat.net subscriber,

edrusb just announced version 2.4.0 of Disk ARchive on freshmeat.net.

The changes are as follows:

This release closes a development cycle of 5 years, with almost 6 months of
intensive testing. There more than 50 new features and improvements, including
the sequential reading mode that makes dar suitable for tapes, new ciphers, and
compression algorithms, generation of an MD5/SHA-1 hashing file for each archive
slice, sparse file handling, the ability to launch a user-defined command before
and after saving some particular files or directories (to be able to back up a
live database properly, for example) and many other features.

Project description:

Dar is a shell command that makes backup of a directory tree and files. Its
features include splitting archives over several files, DVD, CD, ZIP, or
floppies, compression, full or differential backups, strong encryption, proper
saving and restoration of hard links, extended attributes, and sparse files,
remote backup using pipes and external commands (such as ssh), and rearrangement
of the "slices" of an existing archive. It can run commands between slices,
before and after saving some defined files or directories (for a proper database
backup, for example), and quickly retrieve individual files from differential
and full backups. Several external GUIs exist as alternatives to its CLI
interface, like kdar, DarGUI, SaraB, etc.
