Comparison with Backintime
This tool sounds quite similar to Backintime: bit-team/backintime: Back In Time - A simple backup tool for Linux; Back in Time (Linux software) - Wikipedia.
Apart from being purely command line based, are there any major differences and pros and cons of it.
May be this can be added to readme, for others.
I think you've answered your own question. This utility uses a CLI and is based off rsync
That utility also uses a CLI and is based off rsync
But it also has a GUI frontend. It can store remote backups encrypted as well which is nice (I back up to Keybase (kbfs) so I don't have to fret about that, but still, it's nice).
Actually, the two projects seem to be identical in concept and in most functions. backintime is also available as distributed by my OS vender (Fedora).
So, the difference? I'm using rsync-time-backup for now, but backintime looks darn robust with a team of folks improving it so... We'll see. rsync-time-backup works though, so there is that. It looks like you will be well served by either. backintime's CLI is hardly documented though, and that sucks.
UPDATE: Seems that backintime may be unmaintained: https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues/1092 Unsure. But then again, this tool is only lightly maintained. So, I don't know what to tell you. A couple alternatives were mentioned in that thread.
