Kissback

Keep it simple stupid backup

Kissback is a backup software that allows to backup large directories containing large files to sftp servers.

Standard file attributes, users, groups, and times are backuped and restored.

Kissback tries to combine incremental backups with the simplicity of full backups.

Kissback also makes sure that you are able to restore individual files manually without using the kissback software.

Authentication is done using public key authentifcation.
