Simple GUI for Bup, a very efficient backup system.
I personaly use it to backup my files to a hard disk drive plugged into my ISP box (it's a Livebox).
Features:
- Multiple directories support
- Backup, with a nice progressbar
- Show current backups in your favorite file manager
- Backups on local filesystem or over Samba
- Backup scheduling (using
systemdoranacron) - Exclude paths/patterns
Requires Python 2, GTK 3 and Bup. Tested on Archlinux and Elementary OS (so it should run on Ubuntu and Debian).
Installation:
- If you are running on a Debian-based system, you can install the
.debpackage from here: http://ftp.emersion.fr/bups/ - If you are using Archlinux, install it from the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bups/
- Otherwise, you can install Bups from PyPI: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Bups
- You can also download the source (not recommended): https://github.com/emersion/bups/archive/master.zip
After installation, you can start Bups by running bups. A launcher will also be added to your desktop's app menu.
If you downloaded the source, run bin/bups.
You can edit config with the GUI. You can also manually edit ~/.config/bups/config.json.
