Description:
Back In Time is a GPL-2.0-licensed backup tool based on rsync and written in 
Python. It has both graphical and command-line interfaces, and
supports backups to local disks or over SSH.
Back In Time was originally written by
Oprea Dan and released in 2009. The tool has been
through some rough patches over the years, and is currently on its third set 
of
maintainers. Christian Buhtz, one of the current maintainers, explained to me
how he and his co-maintainers had revived the project, as well as why he 
thought
Back In Time stood out from all of the existing backup solutions.
