Vorta - BorgBackup GUI

Vorta is a GUI for BorgBackup. It's in alpha status and currently has the following features:

Select and manage SSH keys
Initialize new remote Borg repositories
Create new Borg snapshots (backups) from local folders
Mount existing snapshots with FUSE
Settings stored in sqlite

Missing features:

Scheduling for background backups.
Rule-based scheduling by time, Wifi SSID, etc.
Repo pruning
Repo checking
Securely save repo password in Keychain instead of database.
Handle encrypted SSH keys
Check for duplicate source dirs
Exclude options/patterns.

Development

Conda is used for dependency management. Create a new virtual env using:

$ conda env create environment.yml

Qt Creator is used to edit views. Install using Homebrew and then open the .ui files in vorta/UI:

$ brew cask install qt-creater
$ brew install qt

To build a binary package:

$ pyinstaller --clean --noconfirm vorta.spec

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.
