Obnam 1.7 (backup software) released

Really been impressed with Obnam&#x27;s speed and ease of use for backing up sites&#x2F;configs via ssh, with cron kicking things off based on the (relatively detailed) config. Look forward to testing the new release.<p>Took a while to initially decide between duplicity&#x2F;rsnapshot etc., and so far I&#x27;m more than impressed. Cheers, Lars.

Attic implements the same idea but seems more stable; <a href="https://attic-backup.org/" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;attic-backup.org&#x2F;</a>

The best testimonial I&#x27;ve seen for Obnam is that Joey Hess is using it.<p><a href="http://joeyh.name/blog/entry/trying_obnam/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;joeyh.name&#x2F;blog&#x2F;entry&#x2F;trying_obnam&#x2F;</a>

Can someone familiar with both explain how this is different than bup[1]? The descriptions seem similar enough.<p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/bup/bup" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;bup&#x2F;bup</a>

So, it works only in some Linux distros like Debian, not in Windows etc. Had to dig that from the tutorial, between the lines.
