Backmey lets you backup what matters, restore anywhere. Configs, themes, fonts, browsers, and packages. It’s a cross-distro tool.
This is free and open source software.
Features include:
- Component-Based: Select exactly what you want—themes, icons, wallpapers, or terminal configs.
- Smart Restore: Moved from Ubuntu to Arch? No problem. Backmey intelligently translates package names (e.g., firefox → firefox-esr) to install your apps on the new distro.
- Desktop Agnostic: Whether you use GNOME, KDE Plasma, Hyprland, or i3, Backmey detects and backs up your environment.
- Modern App Support: seamless handling of Flatpak and Snap applications.
- Secure: Optional GPG encryption to keep your data safe.
