All, I have been working on a python based wrapper of `dar` to replace the first version built in bash. Features: - Utilize `dar` for the heavy lifting. - Run `dar -t` and perform restore verification of random files. - Build Parchive (Par2) redundancy files to increase likelihood of fixing bitrot. - Handle archive catalogs when backing up and cleaning out old archives. If interested, take a look here: https://github.com/per2jensen/dar-backup/tree/main/v2 Thanks to Denis for his commitment to maintain `dar` over decades. `dar` has saved me from problems more than once :-) Best regards Per
