Description-en: command-line backup tool
This is a backup program, designed to help you make daily archives of
your file system.
.
Written in bash and perl, it can make tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2, and zip
archives and can be run in a parallel mode with different
configuration files. Other archives are possible: MySQL or SVN dumps,
incremental backups...
.
Archives are kept for a given number of days and the upload system
can use FTP, SSH or RSYNC to transfer the generated archives to a list of
remote hosts.
.
Automatically burning archives to removable media such as CD or DVD is also
possible.
.
The configuration file is very simple and basic and gettext is used for
internationalization.
