A Revolutionary Fragmented Backup Solution

Introducing RunUp: A Revolutionary Fragmented Backup Solution

In today’s digital age, data protection is crucial, and having a robust backup strategy is essential for businesses and individuals alike. Traditional backup strategies have their limitations, such as slow backups, data duplication, and slow data restoration. However, a groundbreaking solution called RunUp has emerged, implementing a new backup strategy known as fragmented backups.

What are fragmented backups?

Traditional backup strategies include full backups, incremental backups, and differential backups. Full backups duplicate unmodified data, making them slow to create but faster to restore. Differential and incremental backups aim to reduce data duplication by creating partial backups containing only new and modified files since the last full backup. However, they introduce complexity in data restoration, requiring the restoration of multiple backup versions.

Fragmented backups take a different approach. They create a full backup only once and then all subsequent backups are incremental backups. However, unchanged files are associated with previously stored files, allowing for fast restoration as if it were a full backup. This approach not only speeds up backups but also simplifies data restoration by treating it as a full backup.

Key features of RunUp:

1. Saves disk space: RunUp avoids duplicating files in the backup storage, even if they are duplicated or renamed in the repository.

2. Faster backups: Each backup only contains new or changed files, resulting in faster backup creation and reduced memory usage.

3. Quick restoration: Restoring data with RunUp is as fast as restoring from a full backup, eliminating the complexity of traditional partial backup strategies.

Getting started with RunUp:

To start using RunUp, follow these steps:

1. Clone the RunUp repository from GitHub.

2. Navigate to the RunUp folder and create and activate a virtual environment using Python’s venv module.

3. Install the development dependencies and compile the source code using Cython.

4. Install the RunUp package using pip and verify the installation.

5. Create a runup.yaml file to configure your backups. An example configuration is provided in the documentation.

6. Initialize RunUp using the runup init command.

7. Create a backup using the runup backup command.

8. Restore the latest backup using the runup restore command.
