Hi,

Actually the TAR tool has a built in backup (with incremental support) system. 
It creates a file just looking like a mixed of the flist and fprops file.  Look 
at some documentation here : 
http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/tar.html#Backups. 
The format of both file are quite the same. 
- TAR : xxxxx.file_name[separator]xxxxx.file_name[separator] ... where xxxxxx 
are the properties
- Sbackup : 
  - flist : file_name[separator]file_name[separator]file_name[separator]....
  - fprops : xxxxx.xxxxx.xxxxx..... 
   and it uses the separators to make the  correspondences. 

The point is to know if there was a special reason for sbackup to use
this kind of formating.

sbackup is very slow when working on many files
