Apple's "Time Machine" Now For Linux...

Wednesday, November 7, 2007:

Apple's Time Machine is a great feature in their OS, and Linux has almost all of the required technology already built in to recreate it. This is a simple GUI to make it easy to use.
"Apple's 'Time Machine' is cool, but I use Linux, not MacOSX. So here is a Linux implementation (built off of rsync, of course). No fancy OpenGL, but quite functional none-the-less."

Linux has far more features than we know...but everything is hidden behind complex command line tools...it must be easy enough to use for a newbie...that's where Linux lacks...GOOD EASY POWERFUL GRAPHICAL INTERFACES...but I hope it will be available sooner or later...

I am not affiliated with Apple, nor have I even used Time Machine personally. Please don't sue me.
