FlyBack Alternatives
FlyBack is described as 'open source backup utility based on Git and modeled loosely after Apple's Time Machine. FlyBack creates incremental backups of files which can be restored at a later date' and is an app in the Backup & Sync category. There are more than 25 alternatives to FlyBack for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac, Android and BSD. The best alternative is rsync, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like FlyBack are Déjà Dup (Free, Open Source), Time Machine (Free), Back In Time (Free, Open Source) and Duplicacy (Freemium, Open Source).

- Time Machine is the breakthrough automatic backup that’s built right into Mac OS X. It keeps an up-to-date copy of everything on your Mac — digital photos, music, movies, TV shows, and documents. Now, if you ever have the need, you can easily go back in time to recover anything.

- Back4Sure is a feature-rich backup solution for typical backup use. No VSS Volume Shadow Copy function for open files.
- rdiff-backup backs up one directory to another, possibly over a network. The target directory ends up a copy of the source directory, but extra reverse diffs are stored in a special subdirectory of that target directory, so you can still recover files lost some time ago.No screenshots yet
