Package: flexbackup (1.2.1-6.3)

Flexible backup tool for small to medium sized installations

Flexbackup is a flexible backup tool that works well for small to medium sized tasks for which solutions like amanda are overkill.

It features:

 * Easy configuration
 * Uses afio, dump, GNU tar, cpio, star, pax, lha, or zip archivers
 * Full and numbered levels of incremental backup (similar to "dump")
 * Compression and buffering options for all backup types
 * Handles remote filesystems with ssh/rsh; no special services required
 * Writes to tapes, on-disk archive files, or on-disk directory trees
 * Keeps a table of contents so you know what archives are on each tape
 * Extensive logging options
