Membrane is a Distributed Backup System that swaps your storage space with other users in the Membrane swarm to backup your data.

• Both GUI and CLI interfaces
• File history ensures file versions are never removed until necessary.
• Log in from anywhere using your generated 4096-bit RSA key
• Twofish encryption ensuring strong for data privacy.
• Deduplication reduces storage requirements for similar files.
• Prioritise backup to friends and family.

• Download the deb or rpm package
• Install using dpkg -i /path/to/membrane-1.0.0-alpha.7.deb or rpm -i /path/to/membrane-1.0.0-alpha.7.rpm
• Start the daemon using sudo systemctl start membraned.service
• Check status using membrane status
• Run GUI using membrane-gui
• Logs can be viewed using journalctl -u membraned.service
• Backup your credentials from /root/.config/membrane/auth
• To restore another account replace /root/.config/membrane/auth with your backed up credentials

• Java 8 or above
• Systemd (if using packages)

• Use the GUI to monitor the membrane daemon membrane-gui
• To add watch folders to backup use membrane watch-add <folder>
• To check backed up files use membrane files
• To explore file history use membrane history <file>
• To recover file use membrane recover <file> <target> <optional: date>
