This App is currently under development. So, This is not what a regular user would expect. If you are a developer and would like to contribute, only then download or fork this repo.
Aiming to be an all-in-one, friendly to new-users, GUI based backup manager for Debian/Ubuntu based systems. The main purpose of this application is to help user backup and restore every component on a Debian/Ubuntu based system ergonomically, elegantly and separately.
Software:
- Apt backup
- Apt restore
Data: Data backup should have two modes:
-
Sync mode- where file(s) or directories are synchronized continuously with another keeping only the latest version. Useful for backing up static data like some script which are updated time to time or security keys like ssh or gpg keys. Use one of the following modes
- Compressed backup - tar ball of data (Reduces disk-space usage)
- Rsync: using
rsync
- Add option for user-defined time interval to sync data
-
Incremental mode: Where incremental backups are created like any other backup app. Use one of the following modes
- Compressed backup - tar ball of data (Reduces disk-space usage)
- Rsync: using
rsync
- Add option for user-defined time interval to backup data

To use or test LeapTime Manager, you need these dependencies to be installed.
To install dependencies on Debian/Ubuntu based systems, run:
sudo apt install python3 python3-aptdaemon.gtk3widgets python3-configobj \
python3-gi python3-setproctitle python3-tldextract
Note: If you are using gdebi
to install LeapTime Manager from a .deb
file, it will automatically install the dependencies and you can skip this step.
Replace apt install
in the command given in Debian/Ubuntu based distros and use the command for the package manager of the target system(eg. yum install
, dnf install
, pacman -S
etc.)
Note: There might be cases where one or more dependencies might not be available for your system. But that is highly unlikely. In such situations, please create an issue.
There are two methods, this app can be installed/used on a Debian/Ubuntu based system. First, download and unzip the source package using:
wget https://github.com/mamolinux/leaptime-manager/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
unzip master.zip
cd leaptime-manager-master
-
Option 1: Manually copying necessary files to root (
/
). For that, follow the steps below:-
[Optional] [In Progress] To make translations/locales in languages other than English, run:
make
from the
leaptime-manager-master
in a terminal. It will create the translations/locales inusr/share/locale
. -
Install python package using
pip3
:sudo pip3 install .
It will install all files under
/usr/local/
-
Compile
schemas
using:sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/local/share/glib-2.0/schemas
-
-
Option 2: Build a debian package and install it. To build a debian package on your own:
-
from the
leaptime-manager-master
run:dpkg-buildpackage --no-sign
This will create a
leaptime-manager_*.deb
package at../leaptime-manager-master
. -
Install the debian package using
sudo dpkg -i ../leaptime-manager_*.deb sudo apt install -f
-
After it is installed, run leaptime-manager
from terminal or use the leaptime-manager.desktop
.
- Install the dependencies.
- From instructions for Debian/Ubuntu based systems, follow Option 1.
Instructions for devs are coming soon or create a PR.
I have no knowledge on how to use meson
or npm
for testing. If you can offer any help regarding this, please start a discussion here or create a PR. It will be more than welcome.
Coming Soon or create a PR.
