Description

DAR is a Disk ARchiver, for backing-up file systems to disk. It's rather in the spirit of TAR, with some additions. Notably:

DAR can break up a archive into multiple files, to facilitate
storage on portable media, like CDs or DVDs.

Can perform incremental back-ups against a reference archive, or,
more conveniently, a "catalog" of an archive, which is sort of a
combination of a TAR table-of-contents and a file checksum list.

DAR also supports filtering, so files or directories can be excluded from an archive, compression, filtered compression, and the inclusion of parity in archives, to help recover from media errors.

9ae2dfc79d adam dar: updated to 2.8.5
from 2.8.4 to 2.8.5 - fixing bug of one-hour-shift in non-daylight saving months for time-zones that have one. dar_manager and dar can be given a date (-w option for dar_manager, -af option for dar) which is expected to be provided in local time. But libdar wrongly assumed it to always be given as summer time (or daylight saving time) even when the given date took place in a non-daylight saving period (winter time), which led most of the time to a shift of one hour in the past in the selected files. Dar_manager using the -w option was restoring files older than the provided date but forgot the ones having a modification date less than one hour before the provided date/time when this date/time was not in non-daylight saving period (winter time). Those were …
