A personal, simplified alternative to Get Backup Pro. 🇬🇧 English · 🇫🇷 [Français](#français) ## About mBACKUP is made by Starbudweiser & Claude Code (Anthropic). MIT License, © 2026 Starbudweiser. Provided as is, without warranty: check your copies before relying on them. Inspired by Get Backup Pro, not affiliated with BeLight Software. See "About mBACKUP" in the app menu. ## Features - Mirror synchronization (rsync 3.x) from a source folder to a destination, with the same options as Get Backup Pro. - Per-task schedule (days, time), catch-up of a missed run, automatic mounting of external disks and SMB shares. - Optional versioned copies (replaced or deleted files go to a dated folder next to the destination, N kept). - Dry run (simulation), exclusion patterns, optional administrator rights per task (password stored in the Keychain). - Menu bar app, opens at login. Interface follows the Socle design system. - Automatic updates from GitHub releases (daily check, Developer ID signature verified), with an "install automatically" option and a manual check button in the settings. ## Install **[Download the latest notarized release](https://github.com/starbudweiser/mBACKUP/releases/latest)** (zip), unzip it and move **mBACKUP.app** to your Applications folder. Requires **macOS 15 Sequoia** or later on Apple Silicon. If protected folders fail (iCloud Drive, Library), grant mBACKUP Full Disk Access in System Settings. ## Build ```bash ./build_app.sh # builds, signs and installs ~/Applications/Applications Personnelles/mBACKUP.app ./tests/run_tests.sh ``` The build embeds the rsync 3.2.3 binary kept in `Resources/rsync`, and falls back to the system rsync if it is missing. rsync is free software under the GNU GPL v3 (© Andrew Tridgell, Wayne Davison and contributors); its source code is available at https://rsync.samba.org and https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync. It is shipped unmodified. ## Languages English, French, Spanish and Italian. The app follows your Mac's preferred language automatically (English if it is none of these four). ## Support Bug reports and suggestions: [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/starbudweiser/mBACKUP/issues). ## License Released under the **MIT License**, © 2026 Starbudweiser.
