     1.4 +BoxBackup Client (bbackupd)
     1.5 +
     1.6 +BoxBackup is designed to be easy to set up and run, and cheap to use. 
     1.7 +Once set up, there should be no need for user or administrative 
     1.8 +intervention, apart from usual system maintenance.
     1.9 +
    1.10 +bbackupd is configured with a list of directories to back up. It has a 
    1.11 +lazy approach to backing up data. Every so often, the directories are 
    1.12 +scanned, and new data is uploaded to the server. 
    1.13 +
    1.14 +The daemon is always running, although sleeping most of the time. In 
    1.15 +lazy mode, it is completely self contained - scripts running under cron 
    1.16 +jobs are not used.
    1.17 +
    1.18 +If an old version of the file is present on the server, a modified 
    1.19 +version of the rsync algorithm is used to upload only the changed 
    1.20 +portions of the file.
    1.21 +
    1.22 +After a new version is uploaded, the old version is still available 
    1.23 +(subject to disc space on the server). Similarly, a deleted file is 
    1.24 +still available. The only limit to their availability is space allocated 
    1.25 +to this account on the server.
