Hm, dar looks interesting. I'll have a look at it. The man page states |
| 20 |
that it is possible to restore individual files from an dar archive |
| 21 |
without reading the complete file (in contrast to tar). Is this also |
| 22 |
true when using compression and/or encryption? Would be a great feature |
| 23 |
for fast single file restores (Just mount the offsite location with |
| 24 |
sshfs or similar and tell dar to restore file25 from my 500GB backup |
| 25 |
without having to transfer the whole damn thing :) ) |
