savethehouse

Home user backup program written in Python

Savethehouse

is a Python implementation of the popular Rsync backup utility. A future version of this program will be based on wxpython (for cross-platform interoperability in the future).

The project is on hold for now

slow progress due to personal scheduling, Plans to continue when time allows

While a general understanding of rsync will be helpful, the non-experienced user should be able to get through the setup and execution of savethehouse.

Goal

The goal of this project is to create a Rsync backup program in Python. Allowing for configuration of backup source and destination directories as well as a log file and inclusion or exclusion files.

Background

This is my first Python program. I am hoping to end up with a application similar to GRsync.

TODO:

+Add Rsync options

+Build and integrate Gui functionality

+Add multiprocessor support

+Work towards a crossplatform functionality

+Start a wiki page (need some help with this one)

DONE:

+Started README

+Separated module (hidcheck) from main sth.py
