@K7AAY: I can always tar before using any other tool, so it preserves permissions, owners, modes and so on.

| Apr 16, 2020 at 12:29 | comment | added | color2v | @muaB: I think it's way safer to use free software for data archiving, you never know what the software will become in the future, and you can't keep the source code with the archive. | |
| Apr 16, 2020 at 12:18 | comment | added | muaB | @color2v: afaik it's not open source, but no pay-ware | |
| Apr 16, 2020 at 12:17 | comment | added | muaB | @Kusalananda: it' percentage, but you could calculate what you need | |

rar is paid and proprietary software. Any FOSS alternative ?

Not having used rar myself, would the user be able to specify "give me 200 MB of redundancy"?
