Permissions are preserved, so users with access to the backup directory can recover their files themselves. . File comparisons are done with MD5 checksums, so no changes go unnoticed. . Hard-links unchanged backuped files to old versions and identical files within the backuped tree. . Compresses large files (that don't match exclusion patterns). . Manages backups and removes old ones.
