Bups

Simple GUI for Bup, a very efficient backup system.

Purposes

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, 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).

• If you are using Archlinux, install it from the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bups/

• For development, you can download the source:

When installed, you can start Bups by running bups. A launcher will also be added to your desktop's app menu.
