Backuso

Backuso – pronounce like the opera singer ‘Caruso’ – is a software for routine and automated backups of your computer to either a local storage or a remote storage on an SSH server, or both.

A local storage is anything accessible in the directory structure of your computer. Most of the time this will be a (large) hard drive, mounted at a convenient location.

A remote storage is anything which is accessed on your network via the ssh protocol. This could be a NAS (Network Attached Storage) in your local LAN, or a server share on the internet.

Backuso is configured with a simple text file. You can start the backups manually or automatically, e.g. using crontab.

Backuso is based on Python 3 and uses the software rsync as its core element. Hence it runs on systems where rsync is available (Linux, FreeBSD, Apple).
