  Description     : parallel network backup system for large heterogeneous networks

Burt (BackUp and Recovery Tool) is a freely distributed parallel
network backup system. It is designed to backup large heterogeneous
networks. It uses the Tcl scripting language and standard backup
programs like dump and GNUTar to enable backups of a wide variety of
data sources, from UNIX and Windows NT workstations to AFS storage and
others. Burt supports parallel backups to ensure high backup speeds,
and checksums to ensure data integrity. Burt is used at the University
of Wisconsin, Madison to backup data from 350 workstations and from
our AFS servers, a total of roughly 900 GB every two weeks.

Uses Tcl/Tk 8.0
