Welcome to Attic
|
|
================
|
|
|project_name| is a deduplicating backup program written in Python.
|
|
The main goal of |project_name| is to provide an efficient and secure way
|
|
to backup data. The data deduplication technique used makes |project_name|
|
|
suitable for daily backups since only the changes are stored.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Easy to use
|
|
-----------
|
|
Initialize a new backup :ref:`repository <repository_def>` and create your
|
|
first backup :ref:`archive <archive_def>` in two lines::
|
|
|
|
$ attic init /somewhere/my-repository.attic
|
|
$ attic create /somewhere/my-repository.attic::Monday ~/Documents
|
|
$ attic create --stats /somewhere/my-repository.attic::Tuesday ~/Documents
|
|
