BAR – Backup archiver program
Sponsored Link
Features
• can store and restore files and images
• can split archive files into pieces; each piece can be read independent
• compress of data with zlib, bzip2 or lzma algorithms
• encryption with gcrypt algrithms (AES, TWOFISH etc.)
• asymmetric encryption with RSA
• fast file format: can find and extract single files without decompressing/decryption of the whole archive
• direct copy of archives to remote computer via FTP or SSH (SCP or SFTP)
• can store archives on CD/DVD (with external tools)
• support pre- and post-processing of CD/DVD images (e. g. for including functions of dvdisaster)
• daemon-mode with control over plain and TLS network connection
• integrated scheduler to start backups daily or weekly
• nice graphical front end (written in Java with SWT)

I hope this works better than the other GUI based back up solutions I’ve tried 🙂
Your instructions don’t work for X86_64 architectures. For 64 bit machines running ubuntu Karmic, use the following steps to install BAR (tested and verified, uses sudo in some places where other folks might disagree with its use, but I am not them and I compile the way I want):
FROM THE COMMANDLINE:
wget http://www.kigen.de/projects/bar/bar-0.13.tar.bz2
tar xjf bar-0.13.tar.bz2
cd bar-0.13/
./download-third-party-packages.sh
sudo apt-get -y install libcommons-daemon-java jsvc libcommons-launcher-java javacc mmake txt2man unoconv jarwrapper libxcrypt1 libcrypto++-dev libcrypt-passwdmd5-perl libcrypt-openssl-x509-perl libcrypt-openssl-dsa-perl libcrypt-gpg-perl devscripts libgcrypt11 libgcrypt11-dev libsasl2-2 libsasl2-modules libcrypto++-dev libxcrypt-dev gnutls-bin gnutls-bin gnutls-bin
sudo ./configure
sudo make
sudo make check
sudo make install
by the way — `make check` takes a very long time 😛

Hi, I just found this page. If you see any problem with BAR I’m looking forward to some feedback for improving it. Currently 0.14 is available and 0.15 is in development state. I’m interested in the problems you may have seen. Note: unfortunatelly I have no 64bit system available for testing, thus problems relatate to 64bit may be difficult to analyse for me. Nevertheless I will to my best.
