Jpool is a suite of backup and archival software written in Scala. It uses a content addressible store to minimize duplication.
Jpool is built with the Simple Build Tool, version 0.10.1. The SBT launcher and a JVM is all you will need to build. Simply do:
sbt test
sbt package
There is a bin/jpool script to run the various commands.
Although the dependencies are spelled out in the SBT project file, they are as follows:
- Scala Test — test framework for Scala code
- Apache Commons Codec — used for the Base64 and Hex encoder and decoder.
- H2 Database — used to store a cache of file hashes based on inode times.
- Bouncy Castle — cryptography library used when encrypting backups.
