-Obnam is an **easy, secure backup program.**
-Backups can be stored on local hard disks,
-or online via the
-[SSH SFTP](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_File_Transfer_Protocol) protocol.
-The backup server, if used, does not require any special software,
-on top of SSH.
-
-Some **features** that may interest you:
-
-* **Snapshot** backups. Every generation looks like a complete snapshot,
- so you don't need to care about full versus incremental backups, or
- rotate real or virtual tapes.
-* Data **de-duplication**, across files, and backup generations. If the
- backup repository already contains a particular chunk of data, it will
- be re-used, even if it was in another file in an older backup
- generation. This way, you don't need to worry about moving around large
- files, or modifying them. (However, the current implementation
- has some limitations: see [[faq/dedup]]).
-* **Encrypted** backups, using GnuPG.
-
-See the [[tutorial]], and below for links to the manual, which has
-examples of how to use Obnam.
-
-Obnam can do **push** or **pull** backups, depending on what you
-need. You can run Obnam on the client, and push backups to the server,
-or on the server, and pull from the client over SFTP. However, access
-to live data over SFTP is currently somewhat limited and fragile, so it
-is not recommended.

--------------
-
-* The full manual (currently a work in progress): available as:
- - [CI versions](http://code.liw.fi/obnam/manual/ci/), built from
- git, but not yet released, are also available.
- - The Obnam test suite is also meant to be useful for the more
- technical users of Obnam to read:
- [web page](http://code.liw.fi/obnam/yarns.html),
- [PDF](http://code.liw.fi/obnam/yarns.pdf).

-New repository format GREEN ALBATROSS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-A new repository format, [[format-green-albatross]], is being
-developed. Its goal is to make Obnam faster than than it currently is.
-See [[roadmap-ga]] for a rough roadmap finishing it.
-
-Note that the main Obnam developer already uses GREEN ALBATROSS, but
-incompatible on-disk format changes are still possible. If you use
-GREEN ALBTROSS and a format change happens, you'll need to start over
-with a new backup repository. Once the new repository format is
-stable, backwards incompatible changes won't happen anymore. Also,
-given very few people use GREEN ALBATROSS so far, it has a higher risk
-of bugs than the default repository format. If you're curious, please
-try GREEN ALBATROSS, but be aware of the risks.
