Boar: python-based personal file repository/backup solution?
March 4th, 2011

Yet another file repo? Boar seems to fit a niche for personal long-term backup and maintenance of files, including larger files which the likes of SVN tends to choke on.
To summarize: the ideal storage for your important files should have the following properties.
- File integrity must be guaranteed by checksums and easily verifiable.
- File history is an essential part of your data. It must be backed up and stored redundantly, just as your other data.
- No accidential changes in the storage should be possible – this especially goes for data deletion.
- Storage must be efficient – collapsing redundant data blocks when possible.
- There should be no artificial limits on file sizes.
- The storage format must be very simple, so that software obsolescense will not render the storage unreadable.
- It must be fast to access the data. This is not a backup archive, this is the primary location of the data, and therefore speed is important
The project seems to have the correct notion for a day-to-day file backup and history system.
