Back In Time VS snapper-gui

it is often asked by beginners how and where starting to contribute. As member of the maintenance team of Back In Time (Backup software using rsync in the back, written with Python and Qt) I would like to introduce one of our "good first issues" (#1578).

I'm member of the upstream maintenance team of Back In Time a rsync-based backup software. No one gets payed. No company behind hit. Even the maintainers and developers are volunteers.

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.

This request is related to an Open Source project named Back In Time. Everyone there works voluntarily and unpaid.

In my own project we do it more transparent. We close if there is a good reason for it. We don't close just because no one is working on something. If there are no resources to work in it now but it seems important we keep it open until it is fixed. We do use milestones and priority labels to give the users an idea about our plans.

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. ;)

Currently the translation is locked because of maintenance issues and an open PR offering review of original English strings.

Great and thanks. Feel free to ask further questions in the Issues section of our project or the bit-dev.python.org mailing list. Of course you can contact me directly here.

I'm interested in that topic because I'm member of the maintenance team of Back In Time, the software discussed in that video. The version in video is 0.9, today Back In Time reached 1.3.3. Also interesting is that I'm the third generation of maintainers to that project. I'm not sure but 0.9 there was the fist maintainer and founder involved only.

An alternative GUI is snapper-gui: https://github.com/ricardomv/snapper-gui

Might want to take a look at snapper-gui which is a GUI front-end for snapper tool Not fully sure if its exactly what you're looking for, might explore it

Snapper-GUI

(Fedora) Hey, I've recently installed a program called Snapper-GUI which I want to get rid of(installed it from github). I installed it using git clone, then cd into the directory then ran "python3 setup.py install". But I cannot figure out how to actually uninstall it, I've tried a few commands but it doesn't work.

Secondly, since Snapper is already there in our repositories, adding snapper-GUI(https://github.com/ricardomv/snapper-gui) would be very handy to control BTRFS snapshots graphically.

Thanks, but I had already done that, I was wondering if I could install this: https://github.com/ricardomv/snapper-gui

I use a tool called BTRBK to manage all of this. It takes snapshots at specific intervals, and sends them to an offsite backup servers, hooks to take snapshots before/after events like host upgrades (and host system snapshots show up in the grub menu for easy rollbacks) and pruning of older snapshots. There is no GUI though. There is another popular tool called Snapper that does have a third party GUI last I looked it had less features and was more complex than BTRBK.
