Hi,

I currently use a program called copywhiz on windows that backs up any files or directories created after a certain date to a usb hard drive and runs once a day.

I want to transition fully to Linux. Is there any easy to use software that works on Linux that can do this?

P.S. I have tried creating a bash script to do this but for some reason it has trouble with the date part. So a software solution would be prefered.

      No benefit other than being a GUI. It has a complex interface that attempts to cover many Borg options but not all.

      I usually suggest Pika Backup instead because it has a very simple GUI that makes it easy to perform one-click backups. If you’re gonna use a GUI might as well get something out of it.
