Comments and Reviews
Works flawless, only thing I'd like to see is a "preview changes" mode, to adjust your ignore-list before actually creating a new snapshot.
I tried Back in Time on my notbook with MX Linux 21.
I had 2x system freeze when using the program. Could only solved by hard-reset of the notebook.
(Note: MX Linux is running without any problem since several months)
Not recommended!
Do you tried to report the problem. The project is active again since 2022 with a new team of maintainers. https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/tree/dev?tab=readme-ov-file#maintenance-status

Back In Time works well for making backups that are simply copies of files. Super easy to get setup, and no issues since I started using it (about a month ago).
For a long time I was using LuckyBackup for my Linux Mint machine, but it wasn't always reliable. I switched to Deja Dupe, which also works well (does its job) but I really wanted something that made simple backup copies of my files. Back In Time is very similar to LuckyBackup but has proven to be perfectly reliable.
Backups take up less space (because of using hard links)
Full featured. Runs on headless server. Very configurable. Good documentation.
