DAR - Disk ARchive
For full, incremental, compressed and encrypted backups or archives
DAR is a command-line backup and archiving tool that uses selective compression (not compressing already compressed files), strong encryption, may split an archive in different files of given size and provides on-fly hashing, supports differential backup with or without binary delta, ftp and sftp protocols to remote cloud storage Archive internal's catalog, allows very quick restoration even a single file from a huge, eventually sliced, compressed, encrypted archive eventually located on a remote cloud storage, by only reading/fetching the necessary data to perform the operation. Dar saves *all* UNIX inode types, takes care of hard links, sparse files as well as Extended Attributes (MacOS X file forks, Linux ACL, SELinux tags, user attributes) and some Filesystem Specific Attributes (Linux ext2/3/4, Mac OS X HFS+) more details at: http://dar.linux.free.fr/doc/Features.html -

libinclude
It is a shell library to import other shell scripts as libraries.
As a library we consider a simple shell script containing function and/or variable definitions. Libinclude offers you the possibility to use those kind of libraries in a comfortable manner. The usage is very close to the syntax of python's import statement. Functions (FUNC) and variables (VAR) in a library (MYLIB) can be simply included, but also imported in their own namespace (MYLIB_VAR, MYLIB_FUNC). It also provides the import MYLIB as ALIAS and the from MYLIB import FUNC statement, like in python. To ensure the usability of the libraries across different OS and/or software configurations, libinclude provides some features to be utilized in the libraries. One can define dependencies with 3ed party programs, which will be checked while importing and returns a meaningful error message if not met. To adopt the library to different environments, conditional comments provide the possibility to include code blocks depending on defined conditions, or run code on file inclusion. -
