Thomas Waldmann 169634f2ca change the builtin default for --chunker-params, create 2MiB chunks, fixes #343
one of the biggest issues with borg < 1.0 was that it had a default target chunk
size of 64kiB, thus it created a lot of chunks, a huge chunk management overhead
(high RAM and disk usage).

`Mi` does stand for a IEC binary prefix e.g. 2^20. 2016-01-18 10:38:55 +01:00

More – → -- (CLI) fixes. Fixed spelling. AES-256 is used.
* According to the comment in `borg/key.py`.

Use ``--option`` in RST to not render "--" as "–". 2016-01-17 20:12:23 +01:00
Thomas Waldmann 888e078382 use finer chunker granularity for items metadata stream, fixes #547, fixes #487
the items metadata stream is usually not that big (compared to the file content data) -
it is just file and dir names and other metadata.

if we use too rough granularity there (and big minimum chunk size), we usually will get no deduplication.

Thomas Waldmann cb5c9b63b3 fork: s/attic/borg/g, fix URLs, add new section to AUTHORS
use borg instead attic except at the places where it was used:
- as toplevel package name, directory name, file name
- to refer to original attic

remove sphinx upload make command, will be replaced by github.io site later

remove references to binary downloads and linux packages for now

remove some software name references, fix grammar

use borgbackup rather than borg-backup (or borg) in URLs,
less name collision issues, better search results, no validity issues with "-"

anarcat ecee5a0b51 PDKF is a key derivation function
do not use the word "encryption", as it is actually closer to "hashing" anyways.

anarcat 5f882e976d clarify the index memory usage analysis
it seems I extracted that data from [this mailing list post][] which
in turn takes it from [this github comment][].

anarcat 0ba86357d7 clarify that 4095 bytes is not a typo
i am actually assuming this right now, i haven't double-checked
2015-03-05 08:51:26 -05:00
anarcat 87cb4a4813 expand on the chunk id hash mechanism
according to @ThomasWaldmann, the algorithm varies according to whether encryption is enabled.
2015-03-05 08:48:23 -05:00
anarcat 8f8a035e93 fix a bunch of typos
this should fix the comments identified as `typo` and other small quirks found by @ThomasWaldmann.

Antoine Beaupré fd56bf0887 document the repo config file and more storage properties
again taken from the mailing list, mostly
2014-12-16 10:20:23 -05:00
Antoine Beaupré 3f27c367fe document more internals, based on mailing list discussion
this should address #27, #28 and #29 at least at a basic level

it is mostly based on the mailing list discussion mentionned in #27,
with some reformatting and merging of different posts.

Antoine Beaupré 9f0ed2a8c0 clarify some bits I missed 2014-12-16 10:03:20 -05:00
Antoine Beaupré a8ab9c3445 document key files in a new Internals page
this is still incomplete as it only describes key files, but doesn't
clearly say how chunks are encrypted or decrypted.

this address parts of #29 but eventually that document should also
cover #27, #28 and maybe #45
