Maxpacker

A flexible backup tool, which can filter and pack files into independent partitions.

Features

• Filter files by file name, modification time and size
• Pack files into independent partitions by size or number of files or partitions using the algorithms from fpart
• Backup the splitted partitions with copy/link/7z/zip/tar.*z
• Predict the final compressed file size and pack efficiently
