tob is a general driver for making and maintaining backups.

Installation:

Debian:
apt-get install tob

Manual:
cp tob /usr/local/sbin
mkdir /etc/tob
mkdir /etc/tob/volumes
cp tob.rc /etc/tob/tob.rc
cp example.* /etc/tob/volumes

Red Hat:
rpm -ta tob-*.tgz

Test your installation by typing:
tob -full example

Requirements:
tob uses a separate archiver to do its work. The stock, recommended, configuration uses 'afio'. We suggestion at least afio 2.4.8.

Other archivers that are known to work include tar and arj; please see the sample-rc directory for examples.

You also need bash, sed, and other standard Unix tools.
