💖 DEJA-DUP(1) 💖

okay so bestie, you're looking at the manual page for deja-dup — which is, and I cannot stress this enough, a desktop backup tool. that's the whole name. that's the whole vibe. she's called deja-dup and she backs up your desktop. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, here's how you slide into her DMs:

deja-dup [OPTIONS…]
deja-dup --backup

that's it. that's the whole entrance. options if you wanna be fancy, or just --backup if you're a "no thoughts, just results" kind of girl. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so. Déjà Dup is a simple backup tool. she's the friend who takes your chaotic mess of a situation and makes it look effortless.

the way she does it? she hides the complexity of backing up the Right Way — and by the Right Way we mean:

  • encrypted 🔐
  • off-site 🛰️
  • regular ⏰

and under the hood? she's running Restic behind the scenes the entire time. main character energy, honestly. she's not doing the work herself, she's directing it. ✨

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

every single flag, no skips, no gatekeeping. here we go:

  • -h, --help — shows you the help options. the classic "wait what does this do" button. 🫶
  • --help-all — shows you all the help options. the deluxe edition. not just the basics, the whole pantry. 🍓
  • --help-gtk — shows the GTK Options. yes, that GTK. she has a whole separate help section for her graphical side and honestly? iconic. 💅
  • --version — shows the version. so you know exactly which era of her you're dealing with. 👑
  • --backup — immediately start a backup. no menu, no "are you sure", no small talk. you asked, she delivers, right now, periodt. 🔥

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

go give these two their flowers too, they're part of the family:

lowkey if you're reading this because your backups are a mess, that's so valid, and also she's literally built for exactly that. no judgement in this house. 💜

and that's the whole page, bestie! this one lives in the User Commands section of the manual, and it signs off as deja-dup / DEJA-DUP(1) — the header calls her DEJA-DUP(1), the footer just says deja-dup and echoes the manual name right back at you, no date attached. mwah, go back up your stuff. 💖🧚🌸
