#Back In Time

##About

Back In Time is a simple backup tool for Linux, inspired by "flyback project".

It provides a command line client 'backintime' and a Qt4 GUI 'backintime-qt4' both written in Python3.

You only need to specify 3 things:

where to save snapshots
what folders to backup
backup frequency (manual, every hour, every day, every month)
