[Vorta](http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Vorta) is a GUI for [BorgBackup](https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io). It's in alpha status and currently has the following features:

|
|

|
|
- 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](http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/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.
