+zpaq is a journaling, incremental, deduplicating archiver for Windows
+and Linux.
+
+"Journaling" means that when you update a file or directory, both the
+old and new versions are saved. You can extract from the archive as it
+existed at any time in the past. "Incremental", means that when you back
+up your entire hard drive, for example with:
+
+ zpaq -add e:backup.zpaq c:\*
+
+only those files whose last-modified date has changed since the previous
+backup are added. For 100 GB of files, this typically takes 1-2 minutes,
+vs. a few hours to create the first version. "Deduplicating" means that
+identical files or fragments are stored only once to save time and space.
