What is SaveMeFiles?

SaveMeFiles is a powerful desktop application for creating, managing, and executing data backup and archiving operations using configurable profiles and block-based file/folder selection. Built with a tactical, cyber-command aesthetic, it provides a structured workflow for organizing your data into logical blocks and profiles, then synchronizing them to remote or local destinations using the rsync engine.

Core Concepts

• Blocks — Logical groups of files and folders that you want to protect. Each block contains a name, description, and a hierarchical collection of folders and files that can be included or excluded from operations.
• Profiles — Backup operations that tie everything together. Each profile defines a title, destination path, compression mode, and the collection of blocks to include.
• Compression Modes — None for fastest transfer, Blocks for selective decompression, and Full for maximum space savings in a single archive.

How It Works

• Create your Blocks — Select the files and folders you want to protect.
• Build a Profile — Give your operation a name, set a destination, choose compression, and assign the relevant blocks.
• Execute the Backup — Select your profile and run the backup. The application uses rsync to efficiently synchronize your data.
• Monitor Progress — Watch real-time logs showing transfer speed, percentage complete, and estimated time remaining.

Interface

The main window is organized into four tabbed command centers: BACKUP for executing operations and monitoring real-time rsync progress, RESTORE for recovering archived data, PROFILE for creating and editing backup configurations, and BLOCKS for managing your data segments with search and filtering.

Security & Integrity

• Staging area locking prevents concurrent backup operations from interfering with each other.
• Include and exclude lists let you mark sensitive or unnecessary files to be skipped.
• File ownership and permissions are preserved during transfer, including support for --chown.
