Grim: Unified Data Protection Ecosystem

🗡️ When data death comes knocking, Grim ensures resurrection is just a command away.

License management, auto backups, highly compressed backups, multi-algorithm compression, content-based deduplication, smart storage tiering save up to 60% space, military-grade encryption, license protection, security surveillance, and automated threat response.

⚡ 30 Seconds to Data Immortality

# One-line installation
curl -sSL get.grim.so | sudo bash

# Initialize the reaper
grim init

# Create your first intelligent backup
grim backup create

# ✅ Your data is now under the protection of the Reaper

🎯 Why Grim?

Traditional backup solutions are fragmented nightmares - dozens of scripts, multiple tools, no intelligence. Grim is different. It's a unified data protection ecosystem that combines:

60+ bash modules (sh_grim) for system operations
High-performance Go engine (go_grim) for compression
Python AI services (py_grim) for intelligence
Scythe orchestrator for unified control

All accessible through a single grim command.

The Problem with Traditional Backups

# Traditional approach: Fragmented, complex, error-prone
./backup-script.sh
python compress.py
rsync -av backup/ remote:/
./monitor.sh &
# 😰 No coordination, no intelligence, no unified control

The Grim Solution

# Grim: One command, complete orchestration
grim backup create /data
# ✨ Scans → Compresses → Deduplicates → Encrypts → Stores → Monitors
# All coordinated, intelligent, and unified

🚀 Core Features

🧠 Unified Command System

Everything through grim - no more ./this-script.sh chaos:
