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.

• Tarsnap
• Tarsnapper

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.
