Greetings,

Thanks for checking out my little project. I am the developer of AnonymOS, a Gnu-Linux Operating System with Tor, I2P, and Bitcoin built-in.

  http://anonymos.earthsociety.org

Over the course of development, while backing up one fine day, I made a typo and wiped out a large amount of work. This little program is designed to help prevent such little typos from happening, thus preventing a fair amount of ear-bleeding.

DIU is a graphical front-end for fsarchiver [http://www.fsarchiver.org], a nice little command-line program that will back up a device by copying all the files on it and compressing them into a nice image file. It also restores the files back to a device.

This GUI/front-end could also quite easily be modified to use ddrescue or gddrescue which also create backup images of devices, but at a block level.

To use diu:

1. Insure you have BASH, Zenity, and fsarchiver installed
2. download the file 'diu' to '/usr/bin'
3. make the file executable {chmod +x /usr/bin/diu}
4. execute the normal way

That's it! Cheers
