  • Multiple directories support
  • Backup, with a nice progressbar
  • Show current backups in your favorite file manager
  • Backups on local filesystem or over Samba, SSH and Google Drive
  • Backup scheduling (using systemd or anacron)
  • Exclude paths/patterns
  • Restore backups

How to use

Requires Python 2, GTK 3 and Bup. Tested on Archlinux and elementary OS (so it should run on Ubuntu and Debian).

Installation:

When installed, 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.

Configuration

You can edit config with the GUI. You can also manually edit ~/.config/bups/config.json.

Translating
