Foreword
|
||||
========
|
||||
|
||||
WARNING: At the moment, consider khepri as alpha quality software, it is not
|
||||
yet finished. 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.
