Star is a very fast tar(1) like tape archiver with improved functionality. Star includes the first free implementation of POSIX.1-2001 extended tar headers.

The OS/2 port features full 64bit I/O file access, breaking the 2GB barrier. Also OS/2 Extended Attributes can be saved and restored. Please note that extended headers used to store OS/2 specific attributes are still not officially approved, so a future release can be unable to restore your backup files. Tape units are not supported, this may change in future.

Binaries and sources can be downloaded from Hobbes:
