Simple GUI for Bup, a very efficient backup system.

I personaly use it to backup my files to a hard disk drive plugged into my ISP box (it's a Livebox).

Features:

• Multiple directories support
• Backup, with a nice progressbar
• Show current backups in your favorite file manager
• Backups on local filesystem or over Samba, SSH and Google Drive
• Backup scheduling (using systemd or anacron)
• Exclude paths/patterns
• Restore backups

Changelog: https://github.com/emersion/bups/releases

Requires Python 2, GTK 3 and Bup. Tested on Archlinux and Elementary OS (so it should run on Ubuntu and Debian).

Installation:

• If you are running on a Debian-based system, you can install the .deb package from here: http://ftp.emersion.fr/bups/
• If you are using Archlinux, install it from the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bups/
• Otherwise, you can install Bups from PyPI: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Bups
• You can also download the source (not recommended): https://github.com/emersion/bups/archive/master.zip

When installed, you can start Bups by running bups. A launcher will also be added to your desktop's app menu.

If you downloaded the source, run bin/bups.

You can edit config with the GUI. You can also manually edit ~/.config/bups/config.json.
