Features

• Authenticated Encryption - Protects all stored data and metadata using strong cryptographic primitives to prevent unauthorized access and detect tampering.
• Encrypted Storage Solutions - A storage solution that protects sensitive information using strong encryption and message authentication codes to prevent unauthorized access or data tampering.
• Deduplication Backup Tools - A command-line utility that stores data as encrypted, deduplicated chunks within local or remote repositories to ensure efficient and secure backups.
• Backup Repositories - Stores backup data in a structured repository where files are written once and identified by content hash.
• Content-Addressable Storage - Stores data as unique blobs identified by their cryptographic hash to ensure deduplication and verify integrity.
• Encrypted Archiving Tools - Protects sensitive files by creating encrypted, deduplicated, and integrity-verified backups.
• Storage Abstractions - Translates high-level repository operations into specific protocols for local filesystems or remote cloud storage providers.
• Data Security - Protects backup data against unauthorized access and tampering by applying strong encryption and message authentication codes.
• Disaster Recovery Solutions - Maintains structured, versioned snapshots of critical data to allow for efficient restoration after system failures.
• Backup and Recovery - Fast and secure backup program supporting multiple storage backends.
• Backup Solutions - Fast and secure tool for remote data backups.
• File Storage Systems - Secure, modern backup tool with encryption.
• Backup Solutions - CLI-based tool for encrypted and deduplicated backups.
• Software Tools - Decoupled, secure backup program.
• Metadata Indexing - Tracks repository state through separate index files that map content hashes to their physical locations.
• Backup Orchestration Tools - Streamlines routine data protection by integrating backup processes into automated workflows and containerized environments.
• Blob Aggregation - Bundles multiple small data chunks into larger pack files to optimize storage efficiency and reduce network overhead.
• Storage Clients - Connects to diverse backend storage providers including cloud object stores and network file systems.
• Cloud Storage Connectors - Create a backup repository in cloud object storage by configuring authentication credentials and project details through standard environment variables.
• Remote Backup Protocols - Create a remote backup repository over an encrypted network connection by configuring SSH credentials and specifying the remote server path.
• REST APIs - Stores and retrieves repository data using a REST API that supports versioned headers and standard HTTP methods.
• Backup Storage Backends - Configures remote backup repositories using HTTP or HTTPS protocols with support for authentication and certificate verification.
• Metadata Caching - Stores frequently accessed repository indexes on the local disk to accelerate search operations.
• Pack File Structures - Organizes backup data into pack files containing multiple blobs with an encrypted header for efficient indexing.
• Repository Initialization - Creates a new backup repository at a specific file path by setting a secure password for encryption.
• Backup Storage Backends - Create a backup repository in cloud object storage by configuring access keys and region-specific endpoints through environment variables.
