He can +reorganize his files using that tree, committing new versions to git, +without worry about accidentially deleting anything. + +When Bob needs access to some files, git-annex can tell him which drive(s) +they're on, and easily make them available. Indeed, every drive knows what +is on every other drive. + +Run in a cron job, git-annex adds new files to achival drives at night. It +also helps Bob keep track of intentional, and unintentional copies of +files, and logs information he can use to decide when it's time to duplicate +the content of old drives. |
