A collection of hardware and software from NeXT Computers, their dealers and third party developers.

enTar Backup System

enTar enTar was an application that enabled users of NeXT computers to interactively archive and restore files to DAT, floppy disk, optical disk, networked disks, or other SCSI storage devices. Archiving protected data against disk crashes by saving it on removable media from which it could be restored at a later time. Archiving also saved disk space by allowing infrequently used files to be saved on inexpensive removable media, or saved in compressed form on disk, and selectively restored when needed.

enTar would back up your files and directories onto DAT, 8-mm and other SCSI tape devices, as well as with floppy, optical and other removable disks. In addition, enTar could back up your data to networked disks.

Because enTar automatically configured tape devices, it worked with most SCSI tape devices. enTar could back up multiple files and directories into a single file and could browse and selectively restore files within the single backup,

enTar included UNIX data compression and tar formats for backups so that backup data could be exchanged with other UNIX systems, such as Sun or IBM.
