    [$] Back In Time back from the dead

    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.
