[[!meta title="Obnam2 version 0.2.2, backup program: an alpha version"]]
[[!meta date="2021-01-29 09:48"]]
[[!tag ]]

I've just released version 0.2.2 of [Obnam2][], the second generation of
my backup program. This alpha release is ready for a light trial of a
modest amount of data. I would welcome any feedback you may have.

* The [git repository][] has an [Ansible playbook][] for installing
  the server, see also the [README][].
* <https://obnam.org/> has installation instructions for the client.
  There is a Debian package that works on Debian 10 (buster) on the
  Intel 64-bit architecture (amd64), or you can build it from source
  on any Linux machine.
* [Rust crate][]

Obnam2 consists of a client and a server. Both are provided in the
Debian package. The Ansible playbook provisions and starts the server.

Warning: this version is of alpha level quality. It's missing most
functionality and future versions will not be compatible with this
version. This version does not support encryption. It's not efficient.
It's not compatible with Obnam1. 

If you might want to try a future production version of Obnam2, now
would be a good time to try alpha versions and tell me what you like,
what you don't like, and what you would like in the future. Use the
[issue tracker][] if you can, please.

You can contribute to the project by telling me what you need. What
would make you happy about using backup software? How can I make
Obnam2 be the most boring backup solution ever?
