+Encrypted Snapshotted Remote Backup Service
+
+Colin Percival's program 'tarsnap' to be used as a part of his online encrypted
+snapshotted backup service, currently undergoing paid private beta testing.
+
+"Beta", means two things in this particular case:
+1. stable but not feature complete
+2. new releases come out rapidly. Please check for a newer release before
+building the one here - see https://beta.tarsnap.com/download.html
+
+An easy way to use the slackbuild on a newer version without editing:
+VERSION="<latest version>" tarsnap.SlackBuild
+
+Please note that this is only the client. In order to use tarsnap, one must
+subscribe to the Tarsnap service - see their website for details.
