DESCRIPTION
pibackup is a portable 64-bit live backup tool with a graphical user interface (GUI), specially designed for Raspberry Pi and similar Linux systems. It supports live backups of running systems, but can also create images from inactive drives. Restores are safe and flexible, offering various options.
Unlike typical SD card tools, it is optimized for large storage devices such as SSDs and HDDs, while still working seamlessly with smaller devices. It creates backups of the first two partitions of any storage device and provides selective restoration. After creating a backup, pibackup can automatically remove specified files and folders from the image, shrink it, and compress it efficiently using Zstandard (.zst) to save space.
