./wip/backintime, Simple backup system for the GNOME desktop

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 1.0.8, Package name: backintime-1.0.8, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

Why did I write the application ? When I read about Apple's
TimeMachine I thought it's nice tool to have. I searched for
equivalent applications for Linux and I find TimeVault and FlyBack.
I didn't feel very comfortable with TimeVault, especially with it's
time line. FlyBack was almost what I was looking for: I wanted a
Places/Bookmarks column and I wanted snapshots only when something
changed (just to reduce the number of snapshots).

Keep in mind that Back In Time is just a GUI. The real magic is
done by rsync (take snapshots and restore), diff (check if something
changed) and cp (make hard links).

Back In Time acts as a "user mode" backup system. This means that
you can backup/restore only folders you have write access to
(actually you can backup read-only folders, but you can't restore
them).

In order to reduce disk space, it use the following rules:

* a new snapshot is created only if the last snapshot (if any)
is different from the current directories state
* when a new snapshot is created, it use hard-links (if possible)
for files that are not modified

Log message:
Mark packages as not ready for python-3.x where applicable;
either because they themselves are not ready or because a
dependency isn't. This is annotated by
PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE=  33 # not yet ported as of x.y.z
or
PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE=  33 # py-foo, py-bar
respectively, please use the same style for other packages,
and check during updates.

Use versioned_dependencies.mk where applicable.
Use REPLACE_PYTHON instead of handcoded alternatives, where applicable.
Reorder Makefile sections into standard order, where applicable.

Remove PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCLUDE_3X lines since that will be default
with the next commit.
