operating system for your business, but no one can predict when an


equipment failure might occur. As any good sysadmin knows, backups


are not just a good idea

they

re crucial.

Lone Star Software has been in the UNIX data backup and recovery
business for 20 years. They’ve developed LONE-TAR, a full featured
back up and restore utility that includes bit-level verification
and double-buffering for increased speed. LONE-TAR also offers
“CRONY” – a complete interface to all of your cron
jobs, especially unattended backups.

LONE-TAR is a fully menu driven data archiving and recovery
utility that employs a compression algorithm that guarantees
doubling the capacity of your archive media. LONE-TAR utilizes
Master and Incremental strategy to ensure that all your system data
is rapidly available in case of a system failure. LONE-TAR backs up
everything including device files, empty directories, links,
symbolic links, Virtual Files and NFS mounted file systems.

This is just a small sample of the features included with
LONE-TAR. For a list of all the features of LONE-TAR visit Linux
