  Description     : incremental archiving tool to CD/DVD

sync2cd is an incremental archiving tool. It allows backing up
complete filesystem hierarchies to multiple backup media
(e.g. CD-R). Files are archived incrementally, i.e. only new or
changed files are stored during an archive operation.

All entity types are supported: directories, files, symlinks, named
pipes, sockets, block and character devices.  Ownership and
permissions can be saved and restored.

sync2cd does not use any archive formats (like dar or tar) or
compression: it just writes the files to CD.  This gives maximum
transparency on the archive media: you don't need sync2cd to restore
your data (although it helps), and the media contents can be easily
cataloged.
