Add POT file
Please add POT file in sources. It will help to sync with transifex.
If you will update POT file it will be uploaded at transifex automatically.
Allow backup sets to be unscheduled
Backup sets currently automatically create a crontab entry unless they are disabled, at which point the GUI will refuse to backup the set (even if manually triggered).
This behavior can be overridden using fwbackups-run -f on the CLI but there is no GUI equivalent functionality.
Adjusting GUI behavior to permit backups of disabled sets when clicking Backup Set Now would enable the scenario for users to configuring a backup that they wish to run repeatedly but trigger manually.
Feature request: Progress meter
A progress indicator would really be a useful. Progress bar with speed and percentage is optimal, but even just bytes written would be helpful for large backups.
The preference "start fwbackups when I log in" breaks autostart when there is no folder named autostart
System Details
- fwbackups version: 1.43.7
- OS name and version: Fedora 29 + gnome 3.30.2 fresh install
Issue description
When setting the preference "Start fwbackups (minimized) when I login" to enabled and there is no folder named ~/.config/autostart, fwbackups creates a file names autostart with the fwbackups.desktop contents in it.
Bug details
Steps to Reproduce:
- remove or rename: /home/username/.config/autostart
- open fwbackups and open preferences
- enable Startfwbackups (minimized) when I login
- your ~/.config/ folder now has a file named autostart
Observed results:
~/.config/autostart is a file with the contents of the .desktop file (and Gnome-tweaks/gnome-tweak-tool crashes because of it. bugreport: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-tweaks/issues/186)
Expected results:
A folder named ~/.config/autostart with the fwbackups.desktop file in it.
Workaround:
create a folder named autostart in ~/.config/ if there is none
ImportError
Hello, i get the following error code when trying to launch the application:

ImportError: No module named gladeFeature request : dividing archive into several smaller archives
It would be nice to have the possibility to divide a backup archive into more archives which have a chosen size.
e.g. 512MB or so .... ;-) ... opening too big archives can be difficult depending on hardware.

Help installing on 20.04
Just wondering if anyone can help out installing fwbackups on recent Ubuntu (Ubuntu Budgie 20.04.1).
After installation, I get the error:
/usr/bin/fwbackups: line 30: python: command not found
In that file, I changed python > python2.7. Now I get this error when I run fwbackups:
$ fwbackups
An error occurred while importing gtk/gobject.
Please make sure you have a valid GTK+ Runtime Environment.
I also tried:
sudo ln -s ../site-packages/fwbackups /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/fwbackups
But that didn't help.
Your GUI is so straightforward and intuitive, plus as a backup tool for personal files it has all the features I want. I would love to use it as I haven't found a similar easy alternative (and I have been looking a lot).

when try to build and install I got this error:

I installed last version of meson in ubuntu 22.04 repository. I will try with flatpak
congratulations
nothing to report. Just to say that it's my preferred program for backups. I have been using it since 4 years.
fwbackups crashes trying to present dialog to clear large log file

Thanks for maintaining this and esp for the rc2 fix. It was working for me, and then today for reasons I don't understand it was unable to launch the GUI. No UI would appear, and I found these entries in syslog:

Differential backup ?
- fwbackups version: 1.43.8-rc2
- OS name and version: Linux Mint 21.2 Jammy Jellyfish
Feature request
Hi Stewart. I'm still enjoying fwbackup! I would like to know if you have any plan to implement it with 'differential' mode, in addition to 'incremental' ??
Expected results:
I personally like this method as it require only the full backup and the last differential to secure the set of files.
Best regards,
Didier
Better diagnostics in the log output
Adding more information to the log output when starting a backup would help diagnose issues like #22 more easily.
Ideas:
- Destination filesystem
- Disk utilization (i.e. GB available)
- fwbackups runtime info on startup (version, flatpak vs native execution environment, host OS, kernel version, tar/bz2/rsync versions)
Errors: Can't find bus
System Details

- OS name and version: Linux Mint 21.1 (Ubuntu Jammy Jellyfish)
Issue description
fwback installed using the flatpack regular installed of Mint.
I did successfully a 'One-Time Backup'. Then I configured a backup set for my usual every day backup.
Bug details
Steps to Reproduce:
- I configured a backup set for my usual every day backup.
- The Log Viewer report an error (see below).
Observed results:
No backup recorded.
If the fwbackups log has any relevant information, include a snippet below:
"ERROR : Process exited with status 1. Errors: Can't find bus: Impossible de lancer automatiquement D-Bus sans $DISPLAY X11"
I case it can help, here is the result of $DISPLAY in the terminal:

Add warning on startup when cron isn't installed
System Details
- fwbackups version: 1.43.8rc2
Issue description
Flatpak uses the host executables and many Linux distros don't include a cron daemon by default. fwbackups should warn users when cron is not unavailable on startup (it already produces an error on set save when it can't update cron).
