==================================
The Vault Backup Management System
==================================
The Vault provides a simple set-and-forget backup management system.

It backups up files to a variety of media, and includes support for
encryption out of the box, splitting, automatic media management, 
hash validation and more. It also includes a simple to use GUI to get
you started right away.
 
All data is stored in industry standard TAR/GZIP compatible files, 
and encrypted with OpenSSL encryption (AES-256). A variety of 
disaster recovery systems are available in case the worst happens:
- all storage media gets a copy of the recovery program so you can 
recover your files to any computer straight from the backups without
needing to install the software.
- the GUI also includes more powerful restore and recovery software.
