FEATURES (100% real chunked repository, zero mock data):
• Full / Incremental / Differential File-Tree Backup Engine: content-chunked
(64 KiB or 256 KiB) deduplicating repository (chunks/ + JSON manifests)
with SHA-256 chunk hashes, zlib/lzma compression, and optional AES-256-CTR
+ HMAC-SHA256 authenticated encryption verified against NIST FIPS-197,
SP 800-38A, and IEEE 1619 test vectors.
• Snapshot Browser, Integrity Verify & Point-in-Time Restore: browse any
backup generation, verify every chunk hash and decryption tag, and restore
individual files or the full tree with SHA-256 verification.
• Backup Definitions, Retention Policy & SQLite Run Log: save/load JSON
backup definitions, prune old Full sets + dependents with real orphan chunk
garbage collection, and inspect persistent SQLite run history.

Honest Linux Scope: Live Linux backup reads accessible files directly while
running rather than taking Windows VSS volume shadow snapshots. Unreadable
files without sufficient permissions are logged cleanly.
