Re: [OT] Backup Suggestion

[Leslie Rhorer <lesrhorer@att.net>]

ￜￜￜ I tried backula, but it really did not suit my needs.ￜ I am using 
DAR, instead.ￜ The idea of DAR is similar to TAR, except it is designed 
to be used with random access media, rather than streaming media.ￜ I 
highly recommend it.ￜ One unique feature of DAR is it can not only add 
and update files during restoration, but it can also delete files during 
a restore process.
