zbackup 1.4.4

Versatile deduplicating backup tool

ZBackup is a globally-deduplicating backup tool, based on the ideas found in Rsync. Feed a large .tar into it, and it will store duplicate regions of it only once, then compress and optionally encrypt the result. Feed another .tar file, and it will also re-use any data found in any previous backups. This way only new changes are stored, and as long as the files are not very different, the amount of storage required is very low. Any of the backup files stored previously can be read back in full at any time. The program is format-agnostic, so you can feed virtually any files to it.

Installation

Install zbackup 1.4.4 as follows:

guix install zbackup@1.4.4

Or install the latest version:

guix install zbackup

You can also install packages in augmented, pure or containerized environments for development or simply to try them out without polluting your user profile. See the guix shell documentation for more information.
