.TH SEIVOT 1
.SH NAME
seivot \- benchmark backup application (obnam)
.SH SYNOPSIS
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B seivot
benchmarks a backup application.
It has been written primarily for
.IR obnam (1),
but could be extended for other backup applications.
.PP
.B seivot
generates some live data using
.BR genbackupdata (1),
and then runs the backup application.
It then generates some more live data,
and runs a second backup generation,
etc.
It stores the measurements in an output file.
See
.BR seivots-summary (1)
for a tool to show data from such files in a tabular fashion.
.RB ( seivot
does not itself show the tabular data,
because one is rarely interested in the output from just one run,
and instead wants to contrast it with other runs).
.SH OPTIONS
.SH EXAMPLE
To run a simple benchmark:
.IP
seivot --initial-data=10G --incremental-data=1G
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.BR seivots-summary (1),
.BR obnam (1).
