Snebu

Snebu -- Simple Network Backup Utility
An easy to set up and use snapshot-style backup system for Linux. Each backup is a full snapshot of your system, classified with a retention schedule (such as daily, weekly, monthly, etc). Individual backups can be manually expired, or expired based on age / retention schedule. Backups are collected using `find` and `tar` commands, the meta data is extracted into a data catalog (using SQLite), and the file contents are stored deduplicated and compressed in a `lzop` compatible file format.

Works similar to rsync snapshot style backups (such as rbackup), however deduplication is handled by the data catalog instead of hard links in the file system (for efficiency), and metadata is also stored in the DB allowing for non-root ownership of the archive location (for better security).
