Kdar became incompatible with later versions of libdarapi but then it was |

fixed and now works well again. Dar is extremely fast compared to tar, |
| 10 |
especially when restoring. It is probably best to use scripts to perform |
| 11 |
nightly backups (lots of examples on the web site) and the GUI for those |
| 12 |
times when you want to restore those couple of files you just munged. :) |

Dar also has options for running an external utility at the end of each |
| 14 |
backup 'slice', so writing the archive to DVD would be an option. |
