A backup software designed for GNOME users, allowing them to easily backup their files and data.
The Gnome-EasyBackup project offers a unique approach to backup applications, utilizing existing Gnome features like Nautilus Script and Emblems. Unlike most backup applications, this project cuts down on the need for learning a new interface, contributing to a smoother user experience overall.
The developer notes that this project is fully functional and has been used in a production environment for several months. However, it is currently written in PHP which presents some issues. Firstly, it requires an extra package (PHP) to be installed, rather than using one of the existing built-in scripts or programming languages. Secondly, creating a GUI program with PHP is not straightforward, especially when compared to other languages like Python or Ruby.
The developer welcomes assistance from anyone with Python or Ruby experience to port the code to those languages. However, an additional GUI, specifically for configuration, still needs to be implemented. Additionally, the project aims to have its messages translated into other languages, adding further accessibility to its use.
Overall, the Gnome-EasyBackup project offers a promising approach to backup applications that may benefit from existing Gnome features. While there are some challenges to work around in terms of programming language, the project offers a functional solution that minimizes the learning curve for users.
