Obnam is an easy, secure backup program

Obnam is an easy, secure backup program. It creates snapshot backups, i.e. every generation looks like a complete snapshot, so you don't need to care about full versus incremental backups, or rotate real or virtual tapes. Another feature is data de-duplication, across files and backup generations. If the backup repository already contains a particular chunk of data, it will be re-used, even if it was in another file in an older backup generation. This way, you don't need to worry about moving around large files, or modifying them. Obnam can create encrypted backups, using GnuPG.
