Vorta - A Boring GUI for BorgBackup

Vorta is an open source macOS/Linux GUI for BorgBackup. It's currently in alpha status.

Main features

  • Encrypted, deduplicated and compressed backups.
  • Works with any remote SSH account that has borg installed. Or try BorgBase for advanced features like append-only repositories and monitoring.
  • Add SSH keys and initialize repos directly from the GUI
  • Repo keys are securely stored in macOS Keychain, Secret Service or KWallet
  • Mount existing snapshots via FUSE
  • Flexible scheduling for automatic background backups. Only allow on certain Wifis.
  • View a list of snapshots and action logs
  • Exclude options/patterns.

Coming soon:

  • Support multiple backup profiles (in progress)
  • Repo pruning
  • Repo checking
  • Full test coverage (currently: 65%)
  • Use static type checks via mypy?
  • Packaging for Linux? How?

Installation and Download

macOS

Download the pre-built binary from Releases. Just download, unzip and run.

Linux

No package yet. First install Borg's own dependencies. Then install via

$ pip install vorta

After installation run with the vorta command.

$ vorta

Development

Install in development mode:

$ python setup.py develop

Then run via

$ vorta

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 binary package:

$ pyinstaller --clean --noconfirm vorta.spec

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:

$ python setup.py test

To update and view coverage information

$ coverage run -m pytest
$ coverage report

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.

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.
