Arco is a backup tool that aims to provide a simple and beautiful interface to manage your backups.
It uses Borg and is compatible with any Borg repository starting from version 1.2.7.
I was looking for an easy-to-use, open-source backup tool that allows me to save all my data encrypted in the cloud.
I found Borg, which is a great tool, but it does not have a graphical interface. I tried some of the available GUIs, but none of them satisfied me fully. So I decided to create my own.
To build a redistributable, install go, pnpm, and Wails. Then run make build in the project directory.
To run in live development mode, run make dev in the project directory. This will run a Vite development
server that will provide very fast hot reload of your frontend changes.
Here are some screenshots of the application:
