usr/bin/tar
usr/lib/tar/backup.sh
usr/lib/tar/dump-remind
usr/lib/tar/rmt
# libarchive

Should this project have them too?

Research direction
The issue lists extra tar and libarchive binaries, including backup, restore, rmt, bsdcat, bsdcpio, bsdtar, and bsdunzip, but names no source files or tests. First review the project's command entry points and existing binary coverage, then compare the requested behavior with Arch Linux's tar package. Done should include a decided scope and corresponding implementation and tests for the supported binaries.
