FlyBack: a “Time Machine” backup utility for Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| FlyBack is a snapshot-based backup tool based on rsync It creates successive
| backup directories mirroring the files you wish to backup, but hard-links
| unchanged files to the previous backup. This prevents wasting disk space
| while providing you with full access to all your files without any sort of
| recovery program. If your machine crashes, just move your external drive to
| your new machine and copy the latest backup using whatever file browser you
| normally use.

| "What's particularly welcome about this is that it extends open source into

| software more precisely," said open source commentator Glyn Moody, on his

This site was actually formed by ex-Softies (i.e. part of a criminal
organisation) who now 'corrupt' Open Source by including projects that are
tied to the Microsoft stack.

| Going Back With Flyback. A needed GUI alternative to rsnapshot, Flyback
| provides much of the same functionality, but does so with a nice GUI wrapper
| to make the entire process more user-friendly. The UI appears to be GTK-based
| and overall, it's impressive. Just about everything you want from rsnapshot
| is here for the common man to make the most of it with.
