Hello the world,
I'm excited to share BackPair with you today – a desktop application I developed to streamline local backups between folders and devices. This project emerged from two needs: simplifying my own backup process for my PC and homelab, and deepening my knowledge of Rust programming.
BackPair makes backing up folders to internal or external devices quick and efficient through a profile-based approach. Instead of manually copying folders one by one, you create profiles with source and destination folder pairs, then execute complete backups with a single click.
Profile Management – Create and manage multiple backup profiles for different purposes (work, personal, homelab configurations).
Folder Pairing – Define specific source ("From") and destination ("To") folder pairs within each profile.
One-Click Backup – Select a profile and launch the backup process with a single button click.
Backup Logs – View real-time progress as your files are copied, with detailed status tracking.
Cross-Platform – Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux thanks to Tauri.
Clean Interface – Modern UI built with React.js and shadcn components keeps things intuitive.
Getting started with BackPair is straightforward:
Download – Get the latest version from the Releases page (note: not code-signed yet, so you may see security warnings).
Create Profiles – Navigate to "Add Profile," name it, and add your folder pairs.
Run Backups – Select your profile and click "Launch Backup." The logs will show progress in real-time.
Review History – Check the "History" section to see records of past backup operations.
If you're looking for a straightforward way to manage local backups without the complexity of enterprise solutions, give BackPair a try. It transforms a tedious manual process into a simple, one-click operation – whether you're backing up important documents, media files, or homelab configurations.

Happy backing up!
