Konserve\n\nA simple GUI backup utility for Windows, designed to help you **back up** important folders or files and **restore them** later—even on a different machine or user account.\n\n\u003e ✔ Portable backups with timestamped TARs  \n\u003e ✔ Embedded build-time fingerprint  \n\u003e ✔ Template support  \n\u003e ✔ Partial restore with visual tree selection \u0026 progress  \n\u003e ✔ Smart path correction across Windows users\n\n**Roadmap:** [See what's planned for v0.2.0 →](https://github.com/konnatoad/Konserve/wiki/Roadmap)\n\n---\n\n## Features\n\n- **Select multiple folders and files** to include in a backup  \n- **Create timestamped `.tar` archives** with embedded path data  \n- **Embedded fingerprint** (via build script) in every backup for traceability  \n- **Restore entire backups** or selectively restore individual items  \n- **Preview and toggle restore items** using a collapsible folder tree  \n- **Progress bars \u0026 spinners** show pack/unpack progress in real time  \n- **Save/Load/Edit templates** (`.json`) to re-use backup selections  \n- **Auto-adjust file paths** when restoring to a new user account  \n- **Friendly GUI** built with [egui](https://github.com/emilk/egui)\n\n---\n\n## UI Preview\n\n| Backup | Template | Restore |\n|--------|----------|---------|\n| ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/778d4407-439c-43df-9857-df10717fcd6d) | ![template](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/88896958-6b62-453f-973a-81744626b53d) | ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6315f889-d01c-450d-a36c-fafbe47e1f6e) |\n\n---\n\n## Backup Format\n\nEach backup:\n- Is saved as a compressed `.tar` file:\n  ```\n  backup_YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.tar\n  ```\n- Includes a `fingerprint.txt` file with:\n  - A unique fingerprint ID (configured via `.env` or embedded at build time)\n  - The original source paths for every backed-up file/folder\n\n---\n\n## Template System\n\nSave your folder/file selection as a `.json` template to:\n- Quickly re-select common paths for future backups\n- Manually edit or review the list in-app\n- Load templates even when some paths are missing (skips safely)\n\n---\n\n## Path Correction\n\nRestoring to a different user account? No problem.  \nThe tool auto-adjusts Windows-style paths like:\n\n```\nC:\\Users\\Alice\\Documents → C:\\Users\\Bob\\Documents\n```\n\nThis allows seamless migration between machines or profiles.\n\n---\n\n## Building\n\n### Prerequisites\n\n- Rust (2021+ toolchain): [Install Rust](https://rustup.rs)\n- A Windows machine (or cross-compile target)\n- (Optional) `.env` file with a custom fingerprint:\n  ```env\n  FINGERPRINT=MyMachine123\n  ```\n\n### Build\n\n```bash\ncargo build --release\n```\n\nYour executable will be:\n\n```\ntarget/release/Konserve.exe\n```\n\n---\n\n# Credits\n\n*Maintained and developed by [@konnatoad](https://github.com/konnatoad)*\n\nSpecial thanks to [@seshues](https://github.com/seshues) for feedback, ideas and input.\n\n---\n\n## Documentation\n\nSee the full documentation in the [GitHub Wiki](https://github.com/konnatoad/Konserve/wiki).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkonnatoad%2Fkonserve","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fkonnatoad%2Fkonserve","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkonnatoad%2Fkonserve/lists"}
