  Description     : benchmark program for backup software

seivot generates synthetic test data and backs it up using the
desired backup tool. It then modifies the test data, and makes
further backups. It also does restores, verifications, and 
forgets backup generations. It measures the runtime and memory
usage of each run of the backu program.
.
Originally written for Obnam, seivot aims to be useful for 
benchmarking many backup programs.
