Backalaika, an easy backup solution

A Python utility that I have written lets you define backup profiles, filter filenames, compress to zip, tar.gzip or tar.bz2, perform differential, incremental or full backups etc.

Backalaika is not a Russian musical instrument. It is a backup solution for small offices, available at SourceForge.

The original idea was to be implemented in C# a few years ago and indeed a crummy prototype was even uploaded to the CVS repository in SourceForge.

That architecture was unnecessarily complex. The current program is written in a smarter language (Python) with fewer features, but is much more useable. You can download it here.

Read the documentation (on the program itself).
