##About
Back In Time is a simple backup tool for Linux, inspired by "flyback project".
It provides a command line client 'backintime' and a Qt4 GUI 'backintime-qt4' both written in Python3.
You only need to specify 3 things:
- where to save snapshots
- what folders to backup
- backup frequency (manual, every hour, every day, every month)
