Areca (http://areca.sourceforge.net/) is a file backup tool.
It supports data compression & encryption, incremental backup,
file history explorer and many other features. Areca Backup
also includes a transaction mechanism which guarantees your
backups' integrity.
It is released under the General Public License Version2 (GPLv2).
Backup Engine Features :
* Archives compression (Zip & Zip64 format)
* Archives encryption (Triple DES & AES encryption algorithm)
* Storage on local hard drive, network drive, USB key,
FTP / FTPs server (with implicit and explicit SSL / TLS)
* Source file filters (by extension, subdirectory, regular
expression, size, date, status, with AND/OR operators)
* Incremental, differential and full backup support
* Archives merges / deletion : You can merge contiguous archives
in one single archive or safely delete your latest archives.
* As of date recovery : Areca allows you to recover your archives
(or single files) as of a specific date.
* Transaction mechanism : All critical processes
(such as backups or merges) support a transaction mechanism
(with commit / rollback management) which guarantees your backups'
integrity.
* Backup reports : Areca generates backup reports that can be stored
on your disk or sent by email.
* Post backup scripts : Areca can launch shell scripts after backup.
* Files permissions and symbolic links backup. (Linux only)
* Support for delta backup (store only the modified parts of the files
- not the whole files)
Graphical User Interface :
* Archives content explorer.
(including a 'find file in archives' feature)
* Archive description : A manifest is associated to each archive,
which contains various information such as author, title, date,
description, and some technical data.
* File history explorer : Areca keeps track of your file's history
(creation / modifications / deletion) over your archives.
* Backup simulation : useful to check wether a backup is necessary
* User's actions history : Areca keeps an history of all user's actions
(archives deletion, merges, backups, recoveries).
Command-Line Interface :
