@Obsolesce said in Dar (Disk ARchive):

Looks pretty standard at a glance. How's it differ over other disk archiving backup tools?

I still prefer restic, but I could use this as an alternative to tar.

For Windows Users
https://chocolatey.org/packages/dar
choco install dar

When using dar on Windows, the path is based on the Unix way.
c:\temp\user1 has to be written /cygdrive/c/temp/user1

# Create backup
dar -c /cygdrive/c/temp/backup -R /cygdrive/c/temp/user1

# Restore backup
dar -x /cygdrive/c/temp/backup -R /cygdrive/c/temp/restore

# Test backup
dar -t /cygdrive/c/temp/backup

# Compare backup
dar -d /cygdrive/c/temp/backup -R /cygdrive/c/temp/user1

# List backup contents
dar -l /cygdrive/c/temp/backup

For macOS Users
https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/dar
brew install dar

For Fedora Users
sudo dnf install dar

For CentOS Users

Deploying an oVirt 4.3.3 node at a manufacturing facility in NY (remotely.)

Watched any videos about LVM and LVM Thin Provisioning?

Checking out Joplin, so far it seems really cool. The NextCloud native integration could be a huge win.

Holy hell, this looks nice

So far it has been pretty cool. I've connected it to NextCloud.

What’s the difference between using nextcloud WebDAV instead of WebDAV? The url is different?

Caught my daughter entering my room trying to prank me by placing tape under my mouse. She's been trying to prank me and her mother for awhile now but she's has a lot to learn.
