Ugarit: Documentation
Ugarit is a backup/archival system based around content-addressible storage. This allows it to upload incremental backups to a remote server or a local filesystem such as an NFS share or a removable hard disk, yet have the system instantly able to produce a full snapshot on demand rather than needing to download a full snapshot plus all the incrementals since. The content-addressible storage technique means that the incrementals can be applied to a snapshot on various kinds of storage without needing intelligence in the storage itself - so the snapshots can live within Amazon S3 or on a removable hard disk. Similar to Plan 9's venti, but implemented in Chicken Scheme. Encrypting the backup store (called vault) is supported.
