Description: What is Attic?
        --------------
        Attic is a deduplicating backup program. The main goal of Attic is to provide
        an efficient and secure way to backup data. The data deduplication
        technique used makes Attic suitable for daily backups since only changes
        are stored.
        
        Easy to use
        ~~~~~~~~~~~
        Initialize backup repository and create a backup archive::
        
            $ attic init /usbdrive/my-backup.attic
            $ attic create -v /usbdrive/my-backup.attic::documents ~/Documents
        
        Main features
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        Space efficient storage
          Variable block size deduplication is used to reduce the number of bytes 
          stored by detecting redundant data. Each file is split into a number of
          variable length chunks and only chunks that have never been seen before are
          compressed and added to the repository.
        
        Optional data encryption
            All data can be protected using 256-bit AES encryption and data integrity
            and authenticity is verified using HMAC-SHA256.
        
        Off-site backups
            Attic can store data on any remote host accessible over SSH.  This is
            most efficient if Attic is also installed on the remote host.
        
        Backups mountable as filesystems
            Backup archives are mountable as userspace filesystems for easy backup
            verification and restores.
        
        What do I need?
        ---------------
        Attic requires Python 3.2 or above to work. Besides Python, Attic also requires 
        msgpack-python and sufficiently recent OpenSSL (>= 1.0.0).
        In order to mount archives as filesystems, llfuse is required.
        
        How do I install it?
        --------------------
        ::
        
          $ pip install Attic
        
        Where are the docs?
        -------------------
        Go to https://attic-backup.org/ for a prebuilt version of the documentation.
        You can also build it yourself from the docs folder.
        
        Where are the tests?
        --------------------
        The tests are in the attic/testsuite package. To run the test suite use the
        following command::
        
          $ fakeroot -u python -m attic.testsuite.run
