Best Backup ever

Command line backup tool for Linux. Easy to filter out unnecessary files and folders. If you know how find works makes it easier to understand. Using this feature can save a lot of diskspace for your incremental backups.

I've been using this tool for years. I love the fact that it does NOT use a proprietary file format, and that I can extract files manually from the archive using just tar if I want to bypass the tool. The fact that it's a simple bash script is also a big plus.

Great tool. Using it for years already.

It gets the job done. Do backup tools need to do more?
