Bob
A Tarsnap OS X GUI client.
Tarsnap is a secure online backup service. Bob provides a GUI interface for managing Tarsnap backups.
Bob is work in progress and hence we take no responsibility for lost data.
Dependencies
Setup
Install Tarsnap by either compiling it your self or through Brew:
brew install tarsnap
If you have installed Tarsnap through Brew, you might need to do a symbolic link from /usr/local/bin/tarsnap to /usr/bin/tarsnap
After that, follow the four steps on their Getting Started.
Then you need to install Tarsnapper, e.g. with easy_install
easy_install tarsnapper
After the installation of both Tarsnap and Tarsnapper you can enjoy Bob by compiling or downloading the latest binary.
