BackPack is a simple script that backs up your data in a space efficent way. Secure Your Data, Lighten Your Load.
Sick of bloated backup software and confusing interfaces? BackPack was born out of frustration. I built this simple script using rsync to automate daily backups, keeping your data safe and your mind clear.
BackPack backs up your data, using incremental backups to only store what's changed, saving space while ensuring you have a complete history of your files.
