“BAR is backup archiver program to create compressed
and encrypted archives of files that can be stored on a hard disk,
CD, DVD, or directly on a server via FTP, SCP, or SFTP. A server
mode and a scheduler are integrated for making automated backups in
the background. A graphical front end that can connect to the
(remote) server is included.

“Features
• can store and restore files and images
• can split archive files into pieces; each piece can be read
independent
• compress of data with zlib, bzip2 or lzma algorithms
• encryption with gcrypt algrithms (AES, TWOFISH etc.)
• asymmetric encryption with RSA
• fast file format: can find and extract single files without
decompressing/decryption of the whole archive
• direct copy of archives to remote computer via FTP or SSH
(SCP or SFTP)
• can store archives on CD/DVD (with external tools)”
