storeBackup - Summary
This group 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")

This version corrects an issue with the cache size of read pipes because of changes in kernel 5.13 or newer. This lead to performance issues.
Corrected in storeBackup version 3.5.2

You now can get the values of some useful storeBackup options in precommand and postcommand scripts. A new option "move" is available in storeBackupMergeIsolatedBackup.pl. It might give you a better performance when configuring storeBackup to protect against ransomware.
Storage locations of lock files have changed.
See Chapter "What's new" and ChangeLog for other changes.

Sorry, forgot to uncomment some debug messages in Version 3.5.
Please download again (now without those debug messages).

You now can use wildcards for option otherBackupSeries and for replication. Added option stayInFileSystem to limit the areas to backup.
