Flyback

Introduction

Apple Mac already has a time machine to went back to the time we wants to restore all files we needed. And Windows also has a system restore to went back to the time we wants. But Linux? As long as we knows, Linux doesn’t have a software like that…. Well, this day.. After surfing the internet, I found something really interesting.. I found a ubuntu software that can perform system restoration just like Apple mac time machine and windows system restore. This software named FlyBack. This software is made from google code and I already tested it and it works really well.

Flyback provides much of the same functionality, but does so with a nice GUI wrapper to make the entire process more user-friendly. The UI appears to be GTK-based and overall, it’s impressive. Just about everything you want from rsnapshot is here for the common man to make the most of it with.

Flyback creates successive backup directories mirroring the files that you want to make sure are backed up. In the truest sense, this has the potential to become a very clean, useful means of backing up a system completely. It can be fully automated and can be run via backup, which would likely meet the needs of the most hardcore command line users.

Screenshots of FlyBack:(Click to enlarge the picture)

Installation:

You’re probably need to install this additional software:

Debian $ sudo apt-get install python python-glade2 python-gnome2 python-sqlite3 rsync
Ubuntu $ sudo apt-get install python python-glade2 python-gnome2 python-sqlite3 python-gconf rsync
Redhat/Fedora $ yum install pygtk2 gnome-python2-gconf pygtk2-libglade python-sqlite3

Then download:

$ svn checkout http://flyback.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ flyback

or

$ wget http://flyback.googlecode.com/files/flyback_0.4.0.tar.gz$ tar -zxvf flyback_0.4.0.tar.gz

Then change to the new directory (“flyback/src/” or “flyback/”, depending on which you chose above) and run:

$ python flyback.py

Or, use the simple way that I got from tuxsoftware.com

Command Line Installation:

Ubuntu, Debian, gOS:

sudo aptitude install flyback
sudo aptitude download flyback

Installation from Tuxsoftware.com

INSTALL NOW
using L.S.I.
INSTALL NOW
with AptUrl

Well, my final opinion with this software is, this software is really good and you must try it, and flyback probably gonna help you to backup and restore in instant just like time machine. But, I also thought that flyback need to improve the UI, it will make people more like this software. Perhaps, FlyBack can request to Ubuntu team to make this software the default backup system.
That’s all of my conclusions with this software.

Gnome-Do

Introduction:
Gnome-Do is an intelligent launcher tools to perform common task on your computer simple and efficient. This software can index 100% of your files correctly including mail, chat, play, applications, and more. This software will make your work more efficient and faster. Do provides instantaneous, action-oriented desktop search results that adapt to reflect your habits and preferences. For example, if you use Firefox web browser often, typing “f” in Do will launch it.
Unlike other search tools that present search results as flat, homogeneous lists, Do provides familiar graphical depictions of search results that assure you that your intent is being realized correctly; searching for “mom” will show a picture of mom, and searching for “beatles” will show a Beatles album cover. Do has many more powerful and exciting capabilities that must be seen to be appreciated.

Download the Software Package:

Ubuntu Package Downloads

Installation from tuxsoftware.com(other alternative and it works well):

Homepage: http://do.davebsd.com/

And that’s all of todays software review and my last opinion is this software is looks like a lot like finder at mac os x. But it seemed to be this software is has more capabilities to search and index, even has an action-oriented desktop search results that adapt to reflect your habits. With the file size only 2 MB and the memory requirement only 256 MB, it really gonna satisfy users. Try it and share your experience in here by filling the comments for suggestion and other. Some of this information I got is from wiki, tuxsoftware.com, and do.davebsd.com .

But, there’s nothing wrong if I give some list of free antivirus and shareware antivirus. I do it because it seems some newbie needs those things. newbie. I think this antivirus is only work to search the windows virus and for make your workstation more secured. And these are some Anti Virus List:

* AVG Antivirus Avg is one of the most popular free antivirus, with the best capabilities to terminate and clean the virus. AVG is one of my favorite antivirus both for windows and Linux.
