About

DISCLAIMER: This is an early release. The author already uses the software to fulfil own needs, but there's still a room for improvement and a potential to find undiscovered issues, bugs or edge-cases.

Utility facilitating preservation of personal archive of files, replicated in multiple storages of own choice.

The main focus is on preservation - keep identical copies while not performing any destructive operations, nor replication of corruption, nor other means of data loss.

Features:

  • Plain files - archived files aren't wrapped in custom format, and are readable with any application.
  • Incremental synchronization - update offline and other storages incrementally, when they become available.
  • Filesystem agnostic

Permissions

3 permissions weaken the sandbox. Flatsonar asks before installing.

    --filesystem=home
  • inter-process communication (needed for X11)
