[[!meta title="what git-annex is not"]]
* git-annex is not a backup system. It may be a useful component of an
[[archival|use_case/bob]] system, or a way to deliver files to a backup
system.
For a backup system that uses git, take a look at
[bup](http://github.com/apenwarr/bup).
* git-annex is not unison, but if you're finding unison's checksumming
too slow, or its strict mirroring of everything to both places too
limiting, then git-annex could be a useful alternative.
* git-annex is more than just a workaround for git limitations that might
eventually be fixed by efforts like
[git-bigfiles](http://caca.zoy.org/wiki/git-bigfiles).
* git-annex is not some flaky script that was quickly thrown together.
I wrote it in Haskell because I wanted it to be solid and to compile
down to a binary.
