storeBackup - Summary
This project is not part of the GNU Project.
Storebackup is a backup suite that stores files on other disks.
It uses deduplication based optimizations that reduce the disk space needed and improve performance. StoreBackup unifies the advantages of traditional full and incremental backups. It supports fast backup over high latency lines like vpn connections.
It includes tools for analysing backup data and restoring. Once archived, files are simply accessible by mounting file systems (eg. locally, via Samba or NFS).
StoreBackup also supports very efficient backups of big image files (from eg. TrueCrypt, mbox, Xen, KVM, VMware, etc.) or complete devices via deduplication.
It also supports:
- integrity checks of backups (via md5 sums generated from source)
- isolated incremental backups without direct access to the repositories (later integration in master backup)
- time shifted replication of backups to additional other disks / locations ("backup of backups")

new Features:
- storeBackup can make an estimation if a compression might reduce the file size
- eg. when traveling, you can make backup without access to the master backup and integrate these backups later into the central one
- backups can be replicated (automated) so you can generate copies of your backups eg. on another external disk

storeBackup can validate your backup via checksums. With storeBackupCheckSource.pl it now also can validate unchanged files in the source directory against checksums in the backup to recognize eg. bit rot.
Bugfix: storeBackupCheckBackup.pl didn't work in combination with saved blocked devices.
