Parch Backup

Overview

The ParchLinux Backup Application is a utility designed to simplify the backup process for ParchLinux users. It provides a comprehensive solution for backing up installed applications, home directory, Flatpak packages (optional), and GPG and SSH keys.

Features

  • Backup installed applications using Pacman
  • Backup user's home directory
  • Optional backup of Flatpak packages
  • Backup GPG and SSH keys
  • Restore from backups

Roadmap

Phase 1: Core Functionality

  • Develop a command-line interface (CLI) for the application
  • Implement the functionality to backup installed applications using Pacman
  • Implement the functionality to backup the user's home directory
  • Implement the functionality to backup GPG and SSH keys

Phase 2: Flatpak Integration

  • Add an option to backup Flatpak packages
  • Integrate with the Flatpak package manager to list and backup installed Flatpak packages

Phase 3: Restore Functionality

  • Implement the functionality to restore backed-up applications using Pacman
  • Implement the functionality to restore the user's home directory
  • Implement the functionality to restore GPG and SSH keys
  • Implement the functionality to restore Flatpak packages (if backed up)

Phase 4: User Interface

  • Develop a graphical user interface (GUI) for the application
  • Integrate the CLI functionality into the GUI
  • Provide options to schedule backups and set backup locations

Phase 5: Optimization and Testing

  • Optimize the backup and restore processes for performance and efficiency
  • Conduct thorough testing, including edge cases and error handling
  • Implement error reporting and logging mechanisms

Phase 6: Documentation and Release

  • Write comprehensive documentation for users and developers
  • Package the application for distribution
  • Release the application to the ParchLinux community

Dependencies

  • Pacman / libalpm
  • Flatpak (optional)

Potential Challenges

  • Handling large home directories and optimizing backup/restore times
  • Ensuring compatibility with different versions of Pacman / AUR helpers
  • Handling edge cases and error scenarios gracefully
  • Providing a user-friendly and intuitive interface

Future Plans

  • Support for incremental backups
  • Integration with cloud storage services for remote backups (Nextcloud/Gdrive and ....)
  • Support for encrypted backups
  • Backup and restore of system configurations and settings
