AutoArchive

AutoArchive is a simple utility to help create backups more easily. The idea of the program is that all essential information for creating a single backup—such as list of directories that should be archived, the archive name, etc.—is stored in a single file – the archive specification file. It can use ‘tar’ for creating archives, it has a command line interface and supports incremental backups.
