I would like to put the project I'm working on in the spotlight. It's fuse-backup, a service which gives users the possibilty to enable backups for folders, and select what is to be backupped based upon mimetype.

Fuse-backup does not backup every time a file has changed, but after every session.

(actually at the start of the next session).

Screenshots (and the rest of the project) you'll find at:

The screenshots are of a simple qt gui, which interfaces with the fuse-backup daemon using the fuse fs. This fuse gives information about which backups a user has, what has been backupped and the versions per file.

It uses FUSE, sqlite and btrfs.

Earlier I spoke Michael Meeks about writing a tool for showing the differences between office files. Fuse-backup provides very easy access to ealier versions, now it would be very nice to have a tool which will enable the user to view the differences between versions in a smart way. The new toolkit for LibreOffice LibreOfficeKit offers tools for that, like showing a page as an image (generate a pixmap from RGB).

Further I'm looking at Dolhin to create a plugin to support fuse-backup. I would be awfully nice to show the different versions of a file with a simple mouseclick in Dolphin, and then show a menu per version when rightclicking, and showing the differences with the current version would be one of the choices.  So this is also work to be done. 

The project is still in alpha.

Any comments?
