The idea of the program is that all essential information for +creating a single backup---such as list of directories that should be +archived, the archive name, etc.---is stored in a single file -- the +*archive specification file*. It can use 'tar' for creating archives, +it has a command line interface and supports incremental backups. + +Archive specification files, also called ".aa files" are normally +stored in a predefined location from where they are processed by the +"aa" command which results to creating of a corresponding *backup* for +each. + +Command "autoarchive" is alias for "aa"; these commands are +equivalent. |
