Sitback is a software that functions as a tar/gzip interface.
Sitback is an outstanding backup software that has evolved from a bash-script designed to handle automated backup on Linux fileservers. Unlike other backup tools, Sitback is super-intelligent and has a unique way of reporting the result of the backup, making it possible for non-techies or office peoples to read, understand and act on the information presented.
The unique feature of Sitback is that it works like a script. All you need to do is tell it what you want to backup and where it should go, and it will take care of the rest. It finds the tools needed, selects the best compression to use, handles the archive device and much more.
One of the benefits of using Sitback is the little database maintained by the software. It helps you quickly locate files on different tapes without using them physically. You can also run a single backup operation or schedule automated backups with Sitback. Any error messages or logs are reported in real-time, and you can also receive a printed report of the backup status.
Tar has been one of the best archiving utilities for small and medium scale systems, making Sitback a logical choice for backup. This software has a graphic interface that runs on ncurses, but it is still functional without the interface.
In the new release, Sitback has fixed bugs with mail-sending, and it is now using stat64 (where available) to allow for large files in a backup (larger than 2GB). In conclusion, Sitback is a powerful backup software that handles all backup problems and provides a straightforward way to track files on different tapes.
