Why?

We wanted a simple, scriptable backup on Windows for personal use.

The goal

Timeline backups using rsync on Windows. The aim is a Timeline job type which makes chronological backups (getting sparser as time passes) with hard links for unchanged files.

Right now

We are at version 1.0 where the core functionality and utilities are in place. A regular syncronization job runs, and logging works.

Next up

* Easy installation by bundling everything in an installer
* Timeline job type
* (and see Issue tracker for more, or for posting requests!)

Please note

Josync is a new project under development, and can not in any way be regarded as ready for production. That said, we run it on our own files without any hesitation.
