Attic FOR LINUX

Attic is an open source and totally free command-line software implemented in Python and designed from the ground up to act as a deduplicating backup utility for supported file systems and computer operating systems. The project's main goal is to provide a secure and efficient way to back up your data, using the data deduplication technique. Since it is designed to store only actual changes, Attic is suitable for daily backups.

Key Features:

• Space efficient storage


• Off-site backups


• Optional data encryption (256-bit AES)


• Support for GNU/Linux and Mac OS X operating systems


• Tested on 32-bit and 64-bit architectures

If you would like to see a real-life example of usage for the Attic, please take a close look at the code below:

$ attic init /somewhere/my-repository.attic

$ attic create /somewhere/my-repository.attic::Monday ~/Documents

$ attic create --stats /somewhere/my-repository.attic::Tuesday ~/Documents
