Description cJ 2014-05-18 19:23:06 UTC

Attic is a deduplicating backup program written in Python. The main goal of Attic is to provide an efficient and secure way to backup data. The data deduplication technique used makes Attic suitable for daily backups since only the changes are stored.

v0.12 is the latest release ; at the moment I'm using an ebuild at http://zougloub.eu/git/overlay-zougloub/plain/app-backup/attic/attic-9999.ebuild

Reproducible: Always

attic works great! While lacking the good documentation and support that obnam has, it is much faster and compresses better than obnam, which unfortunately has some other problems too.

I'm using Attic too, and it is the best backup solution I've found so far. Compressed and deduplicated daily snapshots of my 20GB home directory for half an year take as little as 15 GB! Would be nice to see it in portage.

I'm taking this as a maintainer. 0.15 is in the tree now.

Synced with the latest tree today, but still do not see any version of 'attic' in portage.

By the way, there was a fork (reasons linked in the other bugreport) called 'borg'. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=552470
