I am using Tar to backup my primordial files, but it is getting a bit
more complex as I add directories.

What programs could anyone recommend?
I plan to get a commercial software (don't recall the name, but I got
the URL from FreeBSD-announce) after I get a tape backup, but for now I
just want to backup my primordial files to floppy.

Preferably text base since in an emergency it could take time to get X
running.
