.: Welcome to Gbacker

Gbacker is a program to backup and restore files using a Gmail mail account. It uses the Gmail account as a remote file server. In contrast to other similar solutions like gdrive, gmailsync etc gbacker is fully compliant with the Gmail 'terms of use' and your not limited to a maximum of 500 uploads per 24 hours. With gbacker you can fully use the online storage space offered by Gmail.

Gbacker is written in Python and uses sqlite3 for the database and GTK for the GUI. It uses the imap mail protocol and a sqlite database to mimic a remote directorytree. Gbacker can be used as a commandline application to backup and restore directories. It can also be used as a cron job to sync the backup.

Gbacker is designed to be as robust as possible even when the network connection is unstable. Great care is taken to ensure correct backups.
