Could you build this?
Partial Back In Time is an established Linux backup utility wrapping rsync with snapshot management, cron scheduling, hardlinks, and permission handling.
What it would actually take: A full-featured backup system requires deep POSIX filesystem integration, robust rsync wrapping handling permissions/symlinks/hardlinks, and Linux system daemon scheduling. An AI assistant can easily scaffold the Qt/Python UI, but edge cases around permissions, atomic snapshot rotations, and robust data integrity verification require experienced systems programming.
