I wrote ddar before I knew about bup. It works in a similar way, but uses sqlite and flat files for chunk storage, so removing old archives isn't a problem. I'm not aware of any corruption issues in ddar; I rely on sqlite for integrity.

I modeled ddar after Tarsnap.

ddar sounds like it could be really useful. However, it looks like the last functional change to code base on GitHub was a year and a half ago. What do you think the future of the project is? For something like backups, I wouldn't want to invest into a tool that has no prospect of support.

Don't know if you are aware, but http://www.synctus.com/ddar/ is currently down

I'm aware, thanks. https://github.com/basak/ddar/wiki contains the content, thanks to a kind contributor. I should probably deprecate the old URL and remove references to it.

Perhaps you could have it redirect to the wiki?
