Description : encrypted snapshotting remote backups
Command-line client code for Tarsnap, a secure remote backup service.
This software is used by many Debian users, as is evident from the
existence of third party APT repositories for Tarsnap.[0][1]
The source is available[2], but not distributed under a DSFG license (IANAL):
``Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, without modification,
is permitted for the sole purpose of using the "tarsnap" backup service
provided by Tarsnap Backup Inc.''
The author has stated they will not release this under a DFSG license,
unfortunately.[3]
Regards,
Tom Fitzhenry
