+Afio makes cpio-format archives. It deals somewhat gracefully with
+input data corruption. Supports multi-volume archives during
+interactive operation. Afio can make compressed archives that are
+much safer than compressed tar or cpio archives. Afio is best used as
+an `archive engine' in a backup script.
