Vorta - A Boring Open Source GUI for BorgBackup
Vorta is an open source macOS/Linux GUI for BorgBackup. It's currently in beta status.
Main features
- Encrypted, deduplicated and compressed backups using
borgas battle-tested backend. - Works with any local or remote Borg repo. Try BorgBase for advanced features like append-only repositories and monitoring.
- Repo keys are securely stored in macOS Keychain, SecretService or KWallet. Create SSH keys directly from the GUI.
- Manage multiple backup profiles with different source folders, destinations and settings.
- Flexible scheduling for automatic background backups. Only allow on certain Wifis.
- Restore files from mounts or using the built-in backup browser.
Installation and Download
Vorta should work on all platforms that support Qt and Borg. Currently Borg doesn't support Windows, but this may change in the future. Setting allowed Wifi networks is currently not supported on Linux, but everything else should work.
macOS
Download the pre-built macOS binary from Releases. Just download, unzip and run. If you want detailed steps, there is also a tutorial.
Linux
First install Borg and its dependencies. Then install Vorta from Pypi:
$ pip install vorta
After installation run with the vorta command.
$ vorta
Debugging and Bugs
Please report any errors you may encounter by opening an issue on Github. Please include steps to reproduce and all logging output. Logs can be found in these folders:
- Linux:
$HOME/.cache/Vorta/log - macOS:
$HOME/Library/Logs/Vorta
Development
Install in development/editable mode while in the repo:
$ pip install -e .
Then run as Python script:
$ vorta
Install developer packages we use (pytest, tox, pyinstaller):
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
Qt Creator is used to edit views. Install from their site or using Homebrew and then open the .ui files in vorta/UI:
$ brew cask install qt-creator
$ brew install qt
To build a macOS app package:
- add
Sparkle.frameworkfrom here andborgfrom here inbin/macosx64 - then uncomment or change the Apple signing profile to be used in
Makefile - finally run to
$ make Vorta.appto build the app into thedistfolder.
Testing (work in progress)
Tests are in the folder /tests. Testing happens at the level of UI components. Calls to borg are mocked and can be replaced with some example json-output. To run tests:
$ pytest
Why the Name?
Vorta are a race referenced in Star Trek. They serve the Dominion and are replaced by their clones if they die. Just like our backups.
Privacy Policy
- No personal data is ever stored or transmitted by this application.
- During beta, crash reports are sent to Sentry to quickly find bugs. You can disable this by setting the env variable
NO_SENTRY=1. Your repo password will be scrubbed before the test report is transmitted.
