Description: benchmark program for backup software
- Seivot is a tool for benchmarking backup software.
+ seivot generates synthetic test data and backs it up using the
+ desired backup tool. It then modifies the test data, and makes
+ further backups. It also does restores, verifications, and
+ forgets backup generations. It measures the runtime and memory
+ usage of each run of the backu program.
+ .
+ Originally written for Obnam, seivot aims to be useful for
+ benchmarking many backup programs.
