Hey!

I've been using Dar for a few years now, and am very satisfied with its features
and stability. Thanks, Denis, for keeping the project going! It's great to have
something that supports both extended attributes and ACLs. Most of the
backup/archiving software I reviewed a while ago didn't.

The only thing I'm looking to change is Baras. A script for rotating the
backups, also listed on Dar's web page. I was thinking of writing one myself
that would also allow users to have root-run Dar ignore some of their homedir
files (e.g ~/.backup-ignore). Or is there anything with similar features?


Thanks!

Andri
