a set of disks (floppy, CD-R, zip, etc.)
or a set of file. DAR can also use compression.

Extended Attributes and hard links, it can also
be used remotely through ssh session.
DAR can also be used to split a huge file
in several small files of given size. Selective compression allow you to specify wich type of file are elected for compresssion. You can run a command or script between slices (for example burning a CD, sending a email or playing a sound). Scrambling feature (light encryption) and configuration file are two other recent features.
