36 <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
39 <command>sitarba</command> is a simple backup solution
40 which packs user-defined file sets with tar. Each
41 backup belongs to an epoch, which is 'sporadic' or one
42 of the user-defined epochs. Standard epochs are year,
43 month, week, day, or hour. The backup can be made
44 either full, differential or incremental.
46 <command>sitarba</command> takes care for pruning old
47 backups. The user defines for every epoch the number of
48 backups to keep, except for 'sporadic'. Sporadic
49 backups need to be removed manually.
