Makeshift-Timeshift

The idea behind Timeshift is pretty simple, but it doesn't seem to be able to run in a terminal-only mode, XServer is a dependency, so I made the same thing, but for terminal-only situations.

Usage/Examples

-c / --create

This parameter is used to create a new snapshot

-l / --list

List all currently available local snapshots

-D / --clean-all

Delete everything inside the /backups folder, including archives

-d / --clean-archives

Delete everything inside the archives folder

-r / --restore (NOT YET IMPLEMENTED)

Restore the selected backup

Run

Clone the project

  git clone https://github.com/andrei1015/makeshift-timeshift

Go to the project directory

  cd makeshift-timeshift

(make the file executable)Run the script to create a new snapshot (or whatever)

  sudo ./snap.sh -c

You can also add an alias into your .bashrc file

alias mkshift='~/makeshift-timeshift/snap.sh'

Disclaimer

Needless to say, I am not responsible for what horrible things might happen to you on restore. Good luck!
