Backup ARchiver
BAR is backup archiver program. It can create compressed, encrypted and split archives of files and disk images which can be stored on a hard disk, cd, dvd, bd or directly on a server via ftp, scp, sftp, webDAV/webDAVs, or SMB/CIFS. BAR can create full and incremental/differential archives. A server-mode and a scheduler is integrated for making automated backups in the background.
Features
- create, list, test, compare, convert and extract archives of files and disk images,
- fast access to entries in archives: can find and extract single files without decompressing/decryption of the whole archive,
- full and incremental/differential backup files archives,
- support for raw and several file systems for disk images (ext, fat, reiserfs),
- can split archives into parts of selectable size; each part can be read independent,
- compress of data with zlib, bzip2, lzma, lzo, lz4, or zstd algorithms,
- encrypt archive content with gcrypt algorithms (BLOWFISH, TWOFISH, AES, a. o.),
- asymmetric encryption with RSA,
- create PAR2 checksum files,
- store archives directly on external server via ftp or scp, sftp, webDAV, webDAVs, SMB/CIFS,
- store archives on CD/DVD/BD and add error correction codes with the external tool dvdisaster, on a generic device,
- multicore support for compression and encryption,
- server mode with included scheduler for doing backups regularly. Controlling the server can be done via network connection (plain & TLS/SSL),
- optional internal database with information to all stored files and disk images,
