The main purpose of this affa package is to turn linux server into a dedicated backup server in less than an hour. Affa backs up systems which have sshd running and rsync installed. Once it is configured, Affa runs reliably unattended and sends warning messages in case of any errors.

All backup archives are full backups, as Affa make use of the hardlink technique. Therefore a new full backup only needs disk space for the differences plus the filesystem overhead for the hardlinks and directories (which is typically 2-3%). The optional file deduplication saves additional disk space.
