Bup is lovely. I used it to back up my huge home folder and only switched away to rdiff-backup because (at the time) there was no support for deleting old revisions. Is there any support for that? (Of course, for a large enough hard drive, it's not much of a problem...)
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Every "perfect cross platform open source program" had to start as a homegrown variation of tar, rsync, git, and whatnot. It's not like they fall out of the sky.
of course things dont come out of nothing, i just find it so odd that we have open source top quality OSes, monitoring systems, programming languages, ides, browsers, graphics suites, etc etc, but no backup ..
so, its 2014 and still people use homegrown variations of tar, rsync, git and whatnot. Or a half done solution like this, or an abandoned solution like box backup. why on earth isnt there already a perfect cross platform open source backup program? :) I know,i know..why dont i make one myself? because we dont need a nother half done solution :-b
(dont mean tobsay this is a bad product or anything, just not a finished product..)
