Do not use it for real data yet. + +Khepri +====== + +Khepri is a program that does backups right. It tries to fulfill the +following design goals: + + * Easy: Every obstacle that is between you and a working + backup solution, especially regarding complex or otherwise hard to use + software. Khepri should be easy to configure and use, so that in the + unlikely event of a catastrophic data loss, you are safe. Likewise, + restoring data should not be complicated. + + * Fast: Backing up your data with khepri should only be + limited by your network or harddisk bandwidth. Ideally, you should backup + your files every day. Nobody does backups if it is so slow it takes too + much time. Furthermore, restoring backups should only transfer data that + is needed for the files that are to be restored, so that restoring is + also fast. + + * Verifiable: Much more important than backup is restore, so khepri makes it + easy to verify regularly that all data can be restored. + + * Secure: Khepri uses cryptography to guarantee integrity and + confidentiality of your data. The location where the backups is assumed + to be a shared space where others (e.g. a system administrator) is able + to access your backups. Khepri is built to secure your data against such + attackers. + +License +======= + +Khepri is licensed under "BSD 2-Clause License". You can find the complete text +in the file `LICENSE`.
