+# IML BACKUP #
+
+Backup scripts using restic or duplicity.
+
+Runs on Linux: CentOS, Debian, Manjaro, Ubuntu.
+
+* Free software. GNU GPL 3.0
+* Source: <https://git-repo.iml.unibe.ch/iml-open-source/iml-backup/>
+* Restic: <https://restic.net/>
+* Duplicity: <http://duplicity.nongnu.org/>
+
+# Why #
+
+We rollout our linux systems automatically. We try not to configure third systems
+for backup, monitoring and other general services.
+
+* **No central backup server**: We don't want to configure a backup set on a "central backup server" for each new node. Each new node pushes its own backup data to a given backup target.<br><br>
+* We want to **push data from a private network** to target; a central backup server would not reach some clients without sattelite systems.<br><br>
+* **Automatic backup of databases**: A set of database backup scripts detects exsiting locally running database services and puts a compressed dump file per database scheme to a local backup directory.<br><br>
+* We want to use a **local encryption** of all data to backup.

+# Database backup #
+
+Before starting the backup of local files to a backup target there is a step to dump a local
+database. If one of the supported database types is detected it will be dumped.
+
+We try to implement the approach "zero config" if possible.
+
+Supported local databases for backup and restore:
+
+* Mysql/ Mariadb (requires mysql_dump)
+* postgres (pg_dump)
+* sqlite (by naming files with full path in a config)
+
+Limited support:
+
+* couchdb (using a config with naming convention)
+* ldap (without restore so far)
+
+# Backup tools #
+
+## Duplicity ##
+
+* Incremental and full backups
+* encrypted backups using GPG
+* set size of backup volumes
+* delete old backups by a given time limit
+* several backup targets (currently supported protocols: scp:// rsync:// and file://)
+
+## Restic ##
+
+* creates an initial full backup - and then never again.
+* encrypts data
+* deduplicates files
+* delete backups by rules to keep a count of hourly, daily, weekly, mothly, yearly backups
+* several backup targets (currently supported protocols: sftp:// https:// and file://)
+
+# Control simoultanous backups #
+
+As an optional feature you can control the count simultanous written backups.
+This requires additional effort next to the client installation.
