  • 256-bit authenticated encryption (AES-OCB or chacha20-poly1305)
• Obfuscation (optional)
  • Active obfuscation of file/chunk size
• Compression (optional)
  • lz4 (super fast, low compression)
  • zstd (wide range from high speed and low compression to high compression and lower speed)
  • zlib (medium speed and compression)
  • lzma (low speed, high compression)
• Off-site backups
  • Support for storing data on any remote host accessible over SSH
• Backups mountable as filesystems
  • Backup archives can be mounted as userspace filesystems for easy interactive examination and restores
