Systemback

This is a fork of BluewhaleRobot/systemback, which is also a fork of the original project (which is no longer maintained by the creator). This is made for Arch Linux and it's derivatives (Arch-based), such as Manjaro, Garuda Linux, RebornOS, CachyOS,... (and not for Debian or Ubuntu)

Simple system backup and restore application with extra features

Systemback makes it easy to create backups of the system and the users configuration files. In case of problems you can easily restore the previous state of the system. There are extra features like system copying, system installation and Live system creation.

Install

With AUR helper

pacman-key --recv-key 50B2C005A67B264F --keyserver 'hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80'
yay -S systemback # works with `paru` or any other aur helper

Prebuilt binaries

• Prebuilt binaries are available at Yuunix AUR for both 32bit and 64bit x86 architecture

add this to your /etc/pacman.conf with npacman or the ATT.

[yuunix_aur]
SigLevel = Optional TrustedOnly
Server = <https://shadichy.github.io/$repo/$arch

then run sudo pacman -Sy systemback

Build

Clone github repository

git clone https://github.com/shadichy/systemback-archlinux
cd systemback-archlinux/

Build package

Note: for 32-bit users: it's recommended to use prebuilt systemback-efiboot-amd64 for clang nerds: export LLVM=1 first

makepkg -si

Or

cd systemback/
dpkg-buildpackage # or debuild (on debian)
cd ../
debtap <package>.deb
