dar features everything one need to do an backup. It's a nice
commandline programm and could easily be used in scripts. It's
some kind of "tar bitten by a radioaktive spider"

It's main features are:

* Filters (to exclude things like *.~ or [abc]-team)
* Differential Backups (quite nice to backup my Maildirs)
* Slices (to put my home partition on some 700MB CDs)
* Compression
* Direct Access (don't need to access the whole archive / 
  all slices to extract a file)
* Extended Attributes Backup
