Dar is a powerful backup and archiving tool that allows you to create compressed, encrypted, and incremental backups of your data. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Dar on MXLinux Latest.
Before we can install Dar on MXLinux Latest, we need to make sure that the system's package manager is up-to-date:

cd dar-2.6.13/
./configure
make
sudo make install
Once the installation is complete, we need to verify that Dar has been installed correctly. To do this, run the following command:
