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.
