Déjà Dup
Déjà Dup is a simple backup tool.
The software hides the complexity of doing backups the
'right way' (encrypted, off-site, and regular). It is a frontend
for Duplicity
(which uses the rsync library and gpg
keys for encryption) written in Vala.
The tool is extremely simple to use. It offers two big
buttons, one for manual backup and one for restoring.
Features include:
- Support for local or remote backup locations, including
Amazon S3 (Amazon S3 is a cloud storage, a form of cloud computing but
only for storing data), Rackspace Cloud Files, and Ubuntu One
- Securely encrypts and compresses your data
- Incrementally backs up, letting you restore from any
particular backup
- Schedules regular backups
- Integrates well into your GNOME
desktop
- Various backends, including SSH, FTP, WebDav and Samba
- Allow deleting old backups past a certain date (e.g. 3
months ago)
- Will create fresh full backups occasionally to avoid backup
corruption
- Supports resuming an unfinished backup
- Uses 'nice' for duplicity subprocess to be less of a
resource hog
- Back up to a Windows partition
- Translations: German, Japanese, Russian, Slovak, Swedish,
Finnish, German, Hungarian, Arabic, Indonesian, Czech, French, Hebrew,
Lithuanian and Turkish
