Created by Bob Dinitto and last modified

xmltar is a bash shell script that reads XML files containing backup
instructions and calls the UNIX tar program to produce tar archive files.

xmltar is intended for use on UNIX/LINUX systems where backup requirements
are relatively simple (can be accomodated by tar) and other more powerful
backup options are either unavailable or undesirable.
