Back In Time
February 13, 2010
Back In Time is a simple backup tool for Linux
The backup is done by taking snapshots of a specified directories
so if you’re taking the first snapshot of a directory it’ll take all the files from that directory and put them in the backup directory
but when taking another backup for the same directory, it’ll compare the new snapshot with the old one, and take only the difference between the two snapshots
in fact “Back In Time” is only the GUI for a combination of rsync, diff, and cp.
it also uses cron to make backups in specific periods
here is a short video from Linux Journal that shows how to use the application
