Timeshift Alternative?
Timeshift Alternative?
A search of the package list directories (all releases) returned no listing for Timeshift. Is there an alternative for Debian-testing? Thank you.

Re: Timeshift Alternative?
I'm running Debian Testing and I installed Timeshift from the .deb file downloaded from their github page, and it works fine: https://github.com/teejee2008/timeshift
Re: Timeshift Alternative?
Thanks. I'm leery of doing that because I have recently encountered some problems with another app that I downloaded in a .deb file directly from the app site. It caused some issues in updating.zerubbabel wrote:I'm running Debian Testing and I installed Timeshift from the .deb file downloaded from their github page, and it works fine: https://github.com/teejee2008/timeshift
Re: Timeshift Alternative?
Thank you. Sadly, there isn't a package for Testing but no matter because I intend to install Stable on my main system at the next release.

Re: Timeshift Alternative?
I dont know, you.. but the only worthy linux Timeshift I know is system's snapshots.. In My case I will hightly recommend you Btrfs file system, Its best thing I did since I switched to linux's world. Thats a real time machine linux like virtualbox snapshots, and It never fails.llewellen wrote:A search of the package list directories (all releases) returned no listing for Timeshift.

Im everyday installing and testing stuff and keeping a rollback stable point, So when I end up validating and app I add it to the stable snapshot rollback point.

@bester69: Thank you. This is new learning for this debian newbie and it is very interesting. I wonder, however, if it might be overkill for an amateur home hobby system?

Alternatives in Repository:
Déjà Dup
Backintime
Restic
Alternative, not in Repository, but with .deb version
Duplicati

Re: Timeshift Alternative?
Thank you. Backintime is not in the debian-testing repo. Do you have any recommendation as between deja-dup and restic?arochester wrote:Alternatives in Repository:

Do others perhaps have opinions or recommendations between the two? Thank you.

@arochester: BTW, thanks for the link to the Beginners Handbook. I was unaware of it and it looks like required reading for me

Then I would go for a deduplication backup tool.:
In my experience the best data backup tools are: rsync, duplicity and attic
- Déjà Dup is a very trusted tool, its a great bakup tool, and its a duplicity's GUI, but i find it litle flexible, I think you cant restore simple files by using the graphical interface.
I highly recommend you attic,
https://attic-backup.org/
Its very easy to use and configure and you can restore historical files from days to months/years ago.
Its very easy to use,see.:
Step 0. : Creation repository backup
attic init ~/myfolderbackup
Step 1.: Run backup
attic create -v ~/myfolderbackup::myBackup-`date +%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S` ~/MyVídeos ~/MyImages
Step 2.: Lista Backups
attic list ~/myfolderbackup
Step 3.: Restore Backup
attic restore ~/myfolderbackup::myBackup-date-06032013 /home/myuser/MyImages
--------------------------------------------
Here I let you my daily data backup script, Its running linking the script to /etc/cron.daily;
>>It gives you a 6 months , 4 weeks and 7 days retention backups<<
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
#
ionice -c2 -n7 -p$$
renice +15 -p $$

Re: Timeshift Alternative?
@bester69: Thank you for the detailed info. Attic does not appear to be in the debian-testing repo. However, when I was researching it, I discovered that (a) Attic has been forked to BorgBackup, which is in the debian-testing repo; and (b) Attic is no longer under active development but Borg is.
Do you know Borg? Any comments about it? It seems to have good documentation (terminal and online) to hand hold a newcomer through installation, setup and basic operation.
DejaDup is Gnome which, for philosophical reasons, I avoid.

Re: Timeshift Alternative?
Yeah, Ive seen attic is being discontinued and forked to borg, they are more or less the same (I guess they use most of same command parameters) (borg is already better), I will use it eventually.. but, for now, i cant, the backups are not compatible..llewellen wrote:@bester69: Thank you for the detailed info.

You also have restic (another fork), Its suppose to be more simple, and with some few more backends I think.

--------------------------
I love theses three backup tools: fsarchiver, duplicty and attic(borg)
- attic (borg) and duplicity are the ultimate data backtop tools
- fsarchiver for full system backup (I love fsarchiver, you can backup the whole compressed system in another partition while you keep working)
Full System Backup in the Cloud.:
See.:
Step 0.- Backing my system installation in another partition (I exclude Home folder to save space)
Code: Select all
sudo fsarchiver savefs -Av -s 2400 -z 2 /media/sda6/systemBACKUP/backup.fsa /dev/sda2 \ --exclude=/home
Step 1. Uploading the fsarchiver backup to the cloud (account of BOX , 10Gb for free).(7.1 < 10Gb):
Box: Secure File Sharing, Storage, and Collaboration
https://www.box.com
- Using duplicity with webdav to connect to Box.:
Code: Select all
duplicity -v 4 --progress --allow-source-mismatch --num-retries=5 --no-encryption --ssl-no-check-certificate --volsize 100 --verbosity=6 --timeout=60 --progress /media/sda6/systemBackup/ webdavs://xxxxxx@yahoo.es:"$Password"@dav.box.com/dav/sysbackup
