Summary:
  C: Backup tool for GNU/Linux desktop using rsync's hard-links feature to save storage space
Description:
  C: >-
    <p>It is an easy-to-use backup tool for files and folders. It runs on GNU Linux and provides a command line tool "backintime" and
    a Qt5 GUI "backintime-qt". It uses "rsync" in the back to take manual or scheduled snapshots and stores them locally or remotely through
    SSH. Each snapshot is in its own folder with copies of the original files, but unchanged files are hard-linked between snapshots to
    save space. It was inspired by "FlyBack".</p>

    </ol>
