Overview

Vorta Backup Client

Vorta is a backup client for macOS and Linux desktops. It integrates the mighty BorgBackup with your desktop environment to protect your data from disk failure, ransomware and theft.

Why is this great? 🤩

Encrypted, deduplicated and compressed backups using Borg as backend.
No vendor lock-in – back up to local drives, your own server or BorgBase, a hosting service for Borg backups.
Open source – free to use, modify, improve and audit.
Flexible profiles to group source folders, backup destinations and schedules.
One place to view all point-in-time archives and restore individual files.

Learn more on Vorta's website.

Installation

Vorta should work on all platforms that support Qt and Borg. This includes macOS, Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch Linux and many others. Windows is currently not supported by Borg, but this may change in the future.

Improve source management Control

This PR aims to change the source tab to show more information, as suggested in #593 no. 4. I think some discussion is required in regards of design/implementation details

State: PR is feature complete, some issue on Mac OS remaining...

Add weeks to schedule options

This is another fairly large change, but it shouldn't break any existing setups.

This implements a persistent backup time storage, making #263 easier to implement.

The pretty_date localizes only the day of the week (Monday) but not the HH:MM am/pm

Fixes #487 Semifixes #263 by adding notification and extending gracetime so it runs missed backups if Vorta is not closed.

Edit: Fixes #343 (Last one hopefully) This has become an enormous PR.

Improve UX and HIG-conformity
Make text in vorta HIG conform. I mainly followed the KDE HIG. This PR not only changes punctuation and capitalization but also wording. Therefore reviewers should check whether they are ok with every change made.

This PR also tries to tackle all the tasks in #1050. They are listed below.

[x] Remove dots in misc tab

[x] Add colon to "Profile Name" in add profile window

[x] In schedule tab, replace "Prune old Archives after each backup" by "Prune old archives after each backup"

[x] tool tip must follow the Header or sentence capitalization rule .

[x] remove contraction: "Can't delete the last profile." -> "Cannot delete the last profile" (remove the dot !)...

[x] Unlink repository button tooltip is too long.

[x] "Sentences should not be constructed from text in several controls. Sentences that run from one control to another will often not make sense when translated into other languages." (see wiki bellow for more explanation) :

[x] Reformulate checkboxes text in Schedule>Clock

[x] Reformulate checkboxes text in Archives>Prunes

[x] "clock", "wifi", "tasks" and "terminal" must be replace by "Clock", "Wifi", "Tasks'" and "Terminal"

[x] Replace three dots by ellipsis (see bellow)

[x] Put font 10 in profile add window. Try to shorten the text

[x] In source tab, add gradients bottoms '+/-' at bottom of the view.

[x] In Misc, items can be aggregate with labels : "Notifications", "Startup", "Security", "Informations", "Others"

[x] Make layout more clear (related to the idea of advanced settings)

[x] In Archive>Prunes

[x] In Repository, SSH Key and Compression is sth. advanced

Additional tasks:

[x] use affirmative phrases rather than use negative phrases for checkboxes

[x] Scheduletab > run over metered connections

[x] Scheduletab>shell commands: Placeholder shouldn't be replacement for label

[x] Source view: Improve UX of add and paste buttons

[x] #933

[x] Fix inconsistency in Schedule tab

[x] Improve usability of archive view

[x] Fix tooltips

[x] context menus

[x] source view

[x] archive view

Run missed backups after startup - does not work

Describe the bug Testing Vorta 0.8.2 it seems that the option "Run missed backups right after startup or wakeup" does not work. I installed Vorta for testing purpose, using flatpak, on LinuxMint 19.2

To Reproduce

Go to Schedule
Choose a daily backup time in the near future.
Select "Run missed backups right after startup or wakeup"
Wait till the (scheduled) backup time has passed
Start Vorta: The missed backup does not run.

Additional observations:

I tested both a) quitting Vorta, wait and restarting Vorta after the missed backup time and
b) shutdown the computer, wait and start the computer after the missed backup time in both cases, the missed backup did not run after restart.
There is only one profile. I renamed the default profile to "Vorta Test" <- in the log file one can read about "site default" so perhaps this is causing the issue?

Environment (please complete the following information):

OS: Linux Mint 19.2 Cinnamon (based on Ubuntu 20.04)
Vorta version: 0.8.2 using borg 1.1.15
Installed from: flatpak

Additional context Protocol: 7:30 change backup time to 8:00, Quit Vorta 8:17 start Vorta to check if the missed backup is run

(let me know your Github and Transifex username to be added her)

Translations are organized on Transifex (TF) and then pulled into the source code, when 90+% complete. More details regarding translations are collected here: https://vorta.borgbase.com/contributing/translations/

Last, we should mention translators somewhere in the credits or the README. There will also be new strings added over time, as we're still adding features. So it's an ongoing commitment.

Improve the extract dialog and the dialog showing diff result.
I went over board a little bit and implemented a new, more abstract FileTreeModel for use with tree views in general and especially with the ones in the diff result dialog and the extract dialog.

I have already made the transition of the diff result dialog to the new model. The dialog now features:

Three view modes: Tree, Simplified Tree and Flat

A tooltip for items with all the diff information

Sorting

A button to keep folders on top while sorting

A context menu to copy an item's path and for expanding all children of the item recursively

A button to collapse all items

The dialog now doesn't stay on top of the main window. This allows to compare multiple diff results easily.

Closes #1138.

Run Backup Task with Root Permission

I usually run Vorta as a user. However for a complete backup of e.g. the /etc files, I think, it will be necessary to run Vorta as root.

My wish and suggestion is that you describe the best way to perform such backups in your description or readme.

Don't override FUSE mount permissions
Hello, I'm using Vorta (and borg) for the first time. I have installed the latest version (0.6.24) and I have made a couple of backups. Now I have two rows in the Archive section and I'm trying to mount any of them, but it seems not to work.

I click on "mount" and I select the folder, then nothing happens, I get this text:

fuse: unknown option `umask=0277'

After I have selected the folder if I double click on the archive it opens the folder but it is empty.

I'm on Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS.

Notifications improvement.

Closes #609.

I went a bit overboard and reimplemented the notifications module. It now supports the full org.freedesktop.Notifications feature set and uses the new MacOS UserNotifications API. The symbolic icon added in #563 is removed because notifications use the normal app icon afaik.

It would be a miracle if the MacOS code worked. Testing and fixing it is up to you. The linux code works as expected:

v0.7.3(Feb 18, 2021)
This release adds support for two more Borg commands (rename and break-lock), as well as a slightly revamped Archive tab. We also updated macOS Wifi support and fixed numberous bugs.

Possible Breaking Changes

This removes the profile_slug from the default archive name and prefix. This change only applies to new backup profiles. So if you use the same repo for multiple projects on the same hostname, be sure to check your prune prefix as well. The new default archive name is: {hostname}-{now:%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S}

New Features
