Hm, dar looks interesting. I'll have a look at it. The man page states that it is possible to restore individual files from an dar archive without reading the complete file (in contrast to tar). Is this also true when using compression and/or encryption? Would be a great feature for fast single file restores (Just mount the offsite location with sshfs or similar and tell dar to restore file25 from my 500GB backup without having to transfer the whole damn thing :) )
