Linux client

Are there any plans for a linux client?

I would very much be intrested in a full working version. I Don't need any fancy gui. But it would be nice if there was say, a config file where you could specify what directoryes/files buddybackup should backup (Decenting into directories ofc). And some way of telling the progress. Perhaps through an option to the cli/deamon.

First, thanks you for BuddyBackup. It's a great idea.

Let me add my vote for a linux client.

I think the main benefit is the ability for technical savvy users to setup a headless linux servers which will
provide 24/7 backup solutions for their buddies.
For this use case a command line client would be an
essential feature. Since linux can run on very limited
hardware, this could provide and energy efficient 24/7
backup server.

no info at all?

OK enough already guys ;-)

Right, we've started looking at this because it does seem like a really useful thing that people want.

We're going to aim for a "store only" buddy at first which will only allow incoming buddies to connect and backup to you.

But should all that go well, we'll then move onto a full (albeit console only) version of the software.

A GUI version for Linux users won't be available for the forseeable future (but you guys don't need GUIs right ;-) ?)

Could I get a couple of volunteers to try out the alpha version of this stuff when it's ready?
