Bksys - A system back up tools

This is a System backup tool about Linux System.
I am user of ubuntu OS and I don`t like dejagnu to backup my system.
Because I cannot use it to restore my system when I cannot access the graphical interface.
So this script came into being!

Advantage

Small - Based on tar packaging and compression, the backup file is small.
Easy to manage - Manage all backup files with a few simple commands.
Command line - Command line interface, very useful when the graphical interface crashes.
Online recovery - No need for livecd, No need to shut down!

Please give it a star if you like it, and feel free to contribute code to this repository!
