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. - -* [[1.0 release announcement|1.0]] -* [[Status and support|status]] -* [[Download]] -* [[Contact]] -* [[Bugs]] -* [[Donate]] - -Documentation -------------- - -* 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). - - See also manuals built automatically from version control - by Jan Niggemann: - -* [README](http://git.liw.fi/cgi-bin/cgit/cgit.cgi/obnam/tree/README) -* [NEWS](http://git.liw.fi/cgi-bin/cgit/cgit.cgi/obnam/tree/NEWS) -* obnam manual page: - [English](http://code.liw.fi/obnam/obnam.1.txt), - [German](http://code.liw.fi/obnam/obnam.1.de.txt). -* [[FAQ]] -* [[Development]] stuff - -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. - - -Sponsored by Bytemark ---------------------- - -[[!img bytemark-ff3270c4.svg alt="Bytemark logo" link=no class=bytemark]] - -Obnam development is partly sponsored by [Bytemark][] by providing -[BigV][] virtual machines for development and benchmarking. - -[Bytemark]: https://www.bytemark.co.uk/r/liw -[BigV]: http://www.bigv.io/ - -Sponsored by the FUUG foundation --------------------------------- - -The [FUUG foundation] gave a grant in September, 2015, for buying a -fast machine with lots of disk space for development and benchmarking -of Obnam. - -[FUUG foundation]: http://fuug.fi/saatio/ Links ----- * [Cache Directory Tagging Standard](http://www.bford.info/cachedir/) -* [Backup with obnam and encfs](http://sanskritfritz.wordpress.com/2014/04/24/backup-with-obnam-and-encfs/) -- cgit v1.2.1
