Apple’s Time Machine for Leopard will likely become a helpful feature to many, very quickly. However, Linux users didn’t have such an application to look forward to, until now. TimeVault will offer similar functionality and currently operates under Debian-based distros. It currently has Nautilus support, which means it’s likely GNOME-specific unless you use Nautilus under KDE or your preferred DE. I cannot wait to see a final release of this.
Inspired by the infamous Time Machine to be bundled in Leopard, TimeVault aims to provide the exact same functionality for Linux. Currently lacking the fancy-pants 3D effects, TimeVault integrates tightly with Nautilus to provide one-click file recovery. TimeVault is a free download for all Debian forks (including Ubuntu), however, tread lightly as it’s still an early alpha.
