Copia in Salvo or CIS is a modern and highly scalable backup system.
Its name is derived from the Medieval Latin word "copia" and the latin term "In salvo". The original meaning of copia was derived from ops, opis which means power, ability or resources. Copia was mainly used by lawyers when they added a copy of a law text to their chambers library and thus extended their power their ability and their ressources compared to other chambers. Since the 14. century it changed to the meaning of copy which stayed until today. The latin term "In salvo" means to be in saftey.
Thus Copia in Salvo does just what is says. It takes your copies in safety.

The following prerequisites must be met in order to build CIS
- An installed Apache maven 3.x build system
- A working Internet connection or an internal maven proxy to download the maven build artefacts
For building CIS you have to clone (download) the source code to your local file system first. Then open a shell or command line window and type in the following command
mvn package
This will start the build process that creates the CIS artefacts.
The CIS project is in an early stage and therefore hasn't released any installable items yet.
Please stay tuned to watch for progress.
