rsync is good, but has its own disadvantages, notably the lack of
compression and the reliance on the destination filesystem to preserve
permissions. Dar is a good compromise, being tar-like but intended for
disk use. Restoration of individual files, while not as simple as with
rsync, is far more straightforward than with tar.
