Why is contributing soo hard
Back In Time is a round about 15 years old backup software using rsync in the back. I'm part of the 3rd generation maintenance team there. A lot of work in investigating and fixing issues, understanding, documenting and refactoring old code.

Free Software project "Back In Time" requests for translators
Most of the strings are form two past developers (the founder and the past maintainer). Since last summer we took over the project and try to clean things up. Some of the source strings just got a review from a linguist and he also mentioned about that exclamation marks. But he kind of stopped at some point because it was to much. ;)
Sources strings are source. So you have to open an Issue/BugReport for that. The platform (weblate) don't offer that feature currently to directly connect a string to a new ticket. You have to check out https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues .

looking for a project
Back In Time is a project born round about the year 2008. A rsync-based backup software with a GUI for Linux. It seems that there is a new team of maintainers reanimating the project with support from the previous maintainer. It looks like it is on a good way.

General tips for Debian-newbie?
People need to stop recommending rsync for backups. Some reasonable, time-tested software suggestions are Back In Time, Borg+Vorta, and my minimal CLI choice, rdiff-backup.

What are you doing for your backups?
I use backintime to back up files in my home directory, and use Timeshift for backing up system settings (really useful if you're messing around with your grub and fuck something up, speaking from experience).

Best and easiest way to backup?
I use BackInTime for userspace backups, Timeshift for system files.

Python Port of 600 Line Bash Script: rsync-time-machine.py for Rsync Backups
Hi Hacker News,
I'm excited to share my recent project, where I took on the challenge of porting a popular but untested 600+ line Bash script to Python. The outcome is [`rsync-time-machine.py`](https://github.com/basnijholt/rsync-time-machine.py), a Python implementation of the [`rsync-time-backup`](https://github.com/laurent22/rsync-time-backup) script. It provides Time Machine-style backups using rsync and creates incremental backups of files and directories to the destination of your choice.
The tool is designed to work on Linux, macOS, and Windows (via WSL or Cygwin). Its advantage over Time Machine is its flexibility - it can backup from/to any filesystem and works on any platform. You can also backup to a Truecrypt drive without any issues.
Unlike the original Bash script, `rsync-time-machine.py` is fully tested. It has no external dependencies (only requires Python β₯3.7), and it is fully compatible with [`rsync-time-backup`](https://github.com/laurent22/rsync-time-backup). It offers pretty terminal output and is fully typed.
Key features include:
* Each backup is in its own folder named after the current timestamp.

Client(s) backup to remote server
BackupPC (https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/) is pretty nice, but the scheduling might not work exactly how you want it to. If you're willing to go with client software without a controlling server component, restic or duplicacy are worth a look. Here is another cross platform tool that's pretty neat, but again without a server component: https://github.com/laurent22/rsync-time-backup
