README for seivot
-----------------
Seivot is a program for benchmarking backup software. It was written
for developing Obnam, but it should be possible to adapt it to also
support other on-disk backup solutions, such as rsync or rdiff-backup.
Example:
./seivot --log=foo.log --log-level=debug \
--initial-data=1m --incremental-data=1m --generations=2 \
--output=foo.seivot
Use the --use-sftp-root and --use-sftp-repository options to simulate
backups over a network. This happens over localhost, so it's hardly a
realistic simulation, but it at least measures the overhead of using
SFTP over direct file access. You need to have ssh configured for
localhost access, either via a passwordless key or ssh-agent.
