Each +client is identified by a name, which defaults to the system hostname: +the name you get when you run the `hostname` command. You can also set +the name explicitly, using the `--client-name` setting in Obnam. + +All the clients sharing a repository share the file content data (the +chunks), and can de-duplicate across clients. Each client has its own +backup generations, and those are fully independent from other +clients. You can, for example, forget any generations you want for one +client, and it doesn't affect the generations or any backed up data +for any other client. + +Obnam takes care of locking automatically so you can run Obnam on each +client without having to arrange it so that you only run it on one +client at a time. + +A caveat of sharing a repository is that any client has access to all +chunks, and can delete any other client from the repository. This +means you should only share a repository amongst clients in the same +security domain: all clients should be trusted equally. If one client +gets hacked, then the intruder has access to all the data in the +repository, and can delete the backups of all the clients using that +repository. + +To share a repository amongst clients you need to do the following: + +* Set a unique name for each client. It needs to be unique within the + repository. +* Arrange for each client to have access to the repository. + +That's all. + +To see what clients are using a repository, use this: + + obnam clients + +There is currently no way to remove a client from a repository, unless +you're using encryption. This is to be considered a bug in Obnam, and +will be fixed at a future time. After that, a time machine will be +developed so that this paragraph will have never existed. |
