Tags: Programming, Computing Backalaika, an easy backup solutionA 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). |
