#### Encrypted backup system

Preserve is an encrypted backup system written in Rust. All backup data is
encrypted, so backups can be stored on untrusted devices/services without
exposing any of your data. Backups are simple, operating very similar to
creating an archive like Zip or Tar. Deduplication makes this space efficient.
