DAR (Disk Archive) is an archiving tool and a replacement for tar.

It features:

  • Support for slices, archives split over multiple files of a particular size.
  • Option of deleting files from the system which are removed in the archive.
  • Incremental backup.
  • Per-file compression with gzip or bzip2 (as opposed to compressing the whole archive). An individual can choose not to compress already compressed files based on their filename suffix as well.
  • Fast-extracting of files from anywhere in the archive.
  • Fast listing of archive contents through saving the catalogue of files in the archive.
  • Optional Blowfish encryption.

There is a GUI frontend for DAR called Kdar.

A scheduler/frontend known as SaraB allows the Towers of Hanoi, Grandfather-Father-Son, or any custom backup rotation strategy, and modifications are available for PAR file support. Extended versions known as bzSaraB and baras are also available.
