Manent is an algorithmically strong backup andarchival program. It features efficient backup toanything that looks like storage. Currently itsupports plain filesystems ("directories"), FTP,and SFTP. Planned are Amazon S3, optical disks,and email (SMTP and IMAP). It can work (makingprogress towards finishing a backup) over a slowand unreliable network. It can offer onlineaccess to the contents of the backup. Backed upstorage is completely encrypted. Backup isincremental, including changed parts of largefiles. Moved, renamed, and duplicate files willnot require additional storage. Several computerscan use the same storage for backup, automaticallysharing data. Both very large and very small filesare supported efficiently. Manent does not rely ontimestamps of the remote system to detect changes.License: GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:
