DAR

DAR revolutionizes data restoration. This command-line backup tool creates archives that are compressed, encrypted, and can be split across multiple files. Its genius lies in the internal catalog, which allows you to restore a single file from a terabyte-sized archive stored on a remote cloud server almost instantly. DAR achieves this by reading and fetching only the essential data, not the entire archive. It supports differential and binary-delta backups for efficiency and uses FTP/SFTP for cloud integration. Furthermore, DAR guarantees data fidelity by perfectly saving all UNIX metadata, including hard links, sparse files, Extended Attributes (ACLs, SELinux tags), and filesystem-specific attributes, ensuring a perfect restore every time.
