Tartarus is a backup script designed to make
backups of dedicated servers easy. It employs a
range of standard Unix tools to achieve this goal,
to simplify disaster recovery even when only a
minimal rescue system is available. Archives can
be stored on-the-fly on FTP servers as well as in
the local filesystem, while a plugin system allows
adaption to a wide range of usage scenarios. The
use of LVM snapshots and the creation of
differential backups are also included, as is an
expire script to remove older archives from an FTP
site.
