Backup tool for Linux inspired by the "flyback project"

Back In Time is a backup tool for Linux inspired by the "flyback project". It provides a command line client 'backintime' and a Qt5 GUI 'backintime-qt' both written in Python3. You only need to specify 3 things: * where to save snapshots; * what folders to backup; and * backup frequency (manual, every hour, every day, every month).

Versions, suites, and repositories

Each row is recorded package-index metadata for one version, architecture, suite, and repository. Names, URLs, and sizes are source-reported; a link is a potentially mutable retrieval location, not an OpenFactory redistribution claim or proof that OpenFactory retained the artifact bytes.
