WARNING: At the moment, consider khepri as alpha quality software, it is not
yet finished. Do not use it for real data!
Khepri
======
Khepri is a program that does backups right. The design goals are:
* Easy: Doing backups should be a frictionless process, otherwise you are
tempted to skip it. Khepri should be easy to configure and use, so that in
the unlikely event of a data loss you can just restore it. Likewise,
restoring data should not be complicated.
* Fast: Backing up your data with khepri should only be limited by your
network or harddisk bandwidth so that you can backup your files every day.
Nobody does backups if it takes too much time. Restoring backups should only
transfer data that is needed for the files that are to be restored, so that
this process is also fast.
* Verifiable: Much more important than backup is restore, so khepri enables
you to easily verify that all data can be restored.
* Secure: Khepri uses cryptography to guarantee confidentiality and integrity
of your data. The location the backup data is stored is assumed not to be a
trusted environment (e.g. a shared space where others like system
administrators are able to access your backups). Khepri is built to secure
your data against such attackers.
