Afio manipulates groups of files, copying them within or between filesystems and an afio archive. Afio archives are portable as they contain only ASCII-formatted header information. Afio deals somewhat gracefully with input data corruption: with tar , you're likely lose the whole archive past the first corruption. Afio compresses each file, rather than creating a single big backup. Afio supports multi-volume archives during interactive operation. CHANGES SINCE LAST RELEASE ========================== None.
