+Flexbackup is for you if you have a single or small number of
+machines, amanda is "too much", and tarring things up by hand isn't
+nearly enough.
+
+Features:
+ o Easy to configure
+ o Uses dump, afio, GNU tar, cpio, star, pax, or zip archivers
+ o Full and numbered levels of incremental backup (acts like "dump")
+ o Compression and buffering options for all backup types
+ o Does remote filesystems (over rsh/ssh; no special service)
+ o Package delta mode can backup files not owned by rpm, or owned+changed files.
+ o Writes to tapes, on-disk archive files, or on-disk directory trees
+ o Keeps a table of contents so you know what archives are on each tape
+ o Nice log files
+
+After installing, read the README for information on how to use.
