We don't have such a tool in Linux. The technology is out there
somewhere, but I don't know of a tool that can record (and do it fast)
removable media compressed with recovery data designed to bypass the
common types of media errors. Think of a DVD with a .tgz archive... a
scratch, an error, and the entire archive is useless.
I'm not talking of state of the art maximum compression: only some
compression.
That is an excellent observation.
The other items mentioned are all either command-line (ugh!) or scripted.
And those do not have the perfomance of the old pcbackup, even without
considering the interface. No on the fly compression with error recovery
data, and on the fly recovery, tailored for the backup media.
The only close thing is par and par2, but they are terribly slow.
This seems like an area ripe for exploration.
Indeed!
There are more professional tools, like "amanda", for instance. But I
didn't find it suitable.
