Simple Backup Solution

SBackup is a simple backup solution intended for desktop use. It can back up any subset of files and directories. Exclusions can be defined by regular expressions. A maximum individual file size limit can be defined. Backups may be saved to any local and remote directories that are supported by gnome-vfs.

This software is written withing Google Summer of Code 2005 for use in Ubuntu GNU/Linux distribution.

INSTALLATION

  • Please see INSTALL file.

To use.

  • Go to System/Administration gnome menu and choose 'Simple Backup Config' or, if you prefer terminal, run 'sudo simple-backup-config' to configure your backup settings. Do not forget to save the configuration.
  • If upgrading, backups will be updated to a new format before next backup

If you do not run a Debian derrived distribution then you can comment out lines that backup the list of installed packages on a Debian system. An automatic test will be added soon, but the lack of dpkg command shouldn't raise an exception there.

srestore.py is a command line restore tool and simple-restore-gnome is a Gnome equivalent.

See project homepage at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sbackup/

Feedback is welcome at SourceForge bugtrackers, Debian BTS or directly!

Also, please contact me, if you want to translate SBackup to your language.
