A backup service using fuse, sqlite and btrfs.

[Stef Bon]

Hi,

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:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/fusebackup/

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?

Stef
