Name: Kup Backup System Version: 0.1 Type: KDE Archiving/Backup Depend: KDE 4.x License: GPL Homepage: More Info: http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=147465
Description: Kup is a KDE-based frontend for the very excellent bup backup software, that gives you easy and fast incremental backups! Look at [url]https://github.com/apenwarr/bup/[/url] for details. Only the small parts of your files that has actually changed since last backup will be saved and therefore incremental backups are very cheap. At the same time it\'s as easy to access your files as if a complete backup was taken at every time, like snapshots of your directories. These can be easily viewed using kup whenever your backup archive is available (and that is automatically detected by Kup...) Kup currently consists of two parts: [indent] - Configuration module, available in your system settings. Here you can configure backup plans, what to include, where to backup to and how often. You can also see the status for these backup plans to monitor if you\'re running low on disk space etc. - A small program running in the background, with a system tray icon that shows up when a backup destination is available. This program will monitor to see when your backup destination is available and schedule and run backups. [/indent] [b]Currently supports:[/b] [indent] - backup destination: local filesystem or external storage. - schedule: manual only (triggered from tray icon popup menu), scheduled interval. [/indent] [b]Installation[/b] Requires bup to be installed, also install python-fuse to be able to easily see and restore files from your backups. Follow instructions in README file for compiling Kup. [b]TODO:[/b] [indent] - SSH as backup destination. Would be easy to add but I have not been motivated yet. - KIO slave to see a bup archive in a file manager, could be based on libgit2 instead of fuse-mount. Also could be nice to have a view here where each file is represented as a directory and under that is the different timestamps of that file, would make it easier to find earlier versions of files. - Continous backups: monitoring the local filesystem for changes and imediately backing up the changed file if destination is available. - Make bup give out percentage complete and use this to present in progress bar, looks pretty stupid as it is now without that information.
