I prefer DAR for several reasons. First of all, as I mentioned before, DAR is the only backup solution of which I am aware that can restore not only deleted or corrupted files, but which can also restore deletions. This means DAR can restore any or all files one chooses in a batch, but then if requested can go back and delete files which were deleted at a later time but prior to additional DAR backups.I find it hard to believe that it's a rare feature. The system I use (`bup`) does support that as well (every backup is (more or less) a Git commit, so it doesn't distinguish full-backups from incrementals), but it doesn't bother to mention it probably because it's very basic.
Uh-uh. Full, incremenal, and decremental backups are all completely different than deletion restoral. A GIT commit is somewhat similar, as is a VM snapshot, but they also are not quite the same.
All I can say is, "I suggest you read all the features - it is quite a long list - and try it."
