FlyBack is a backup and restore software that enables users to save their system data just like how Apple's Time Machine works.
To enjoy the benefits of FlyBack, ensure that the following packages are installed on your device, depending on your OS:
For Debian: $ sudo apt-get install python python-glade2 python-gnome2 python-sqlite3 rsync
For Ubuntu: $ sudo apt-get install python python-glade2 python-gnome2 python-sqlite3 python-gconf rsync
For Redhat/Fedora: $ yum install pygtk2 gnome-python2-gconf pygtk2-libglade python-sqlite3
Next, download FlyBack using $ svn checkout flyback or $ wget $ tar -zxvf flyback_0.4.0.tar.gz. Once downloaded, navigate to the new directory (“flyback/src/” or “flyback/,” depending on your choice) and execute the command $ python flyback.py.
FlyBack has certain requirements for effective functioning. These include Python and PyGTK. Additionally, this release comes with several new features, including the ability to show/hide hidden files, resizing column sorting, new columns like “size” and “has changed,” auto-deletion of backups (by age or available space), icons in the file list, and a default excludes list.
Overall, FlyBack is a reliable and effective tool for users looking for a backup and restore system. The simple GUI makes FlyBack's technology accessible to a wide range of users, while the advanced features allow for greater customization and fine-tuning of backups.
