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 actual 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 /usbdrive/my-backup.attic
$ attic create -v /usbdrive/my-backup.attic::documents ~/Documents
See the :ref:`quickstart` chapter for a more detailed example.
Easy installation
-----------------
You can use pip to install |project_name| quickly and easily::
$ pip install attic
|project_name| is also part of the Debian_, Ubuntu_ and `Arch Linux`_
distributions of GNU/Linux.
Need more help with installing? See :ref:`installation`.
