ANN: LazBackupIncrementaleRar v1.4.1 Update – Cross-platform incremental backup

[laguna]

Hello everyone,

I am pleased to announce the release of version 1.4.1 of my software LazBackupIncrementaleRar, an incremental backup tool developed with Lazarus.

The program is designed to be simple yet powerful and runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. As the name suggests, it uses the well-known RAR program for compression (so you need to have it installed separately on your system).

Main features:

    Incremental backup: uses RAR's -u option, adding only new or modified files.

    Flexibility: allows you to include an unlimited number of folders and exclude specific file types.

    Scheduling: you can schedule backups daily, weekly, or monthly.

    Tray Mode: the application can be launched directly into the system tray (/tray).

    Security: option to set a password to encrypt the archive.

    Cross-platform: runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

What's new in version 1.4.1?

    Improved macOS support (including quarantine attribute handling).

    General bug fixing and UI improvements.

    Updated documentation with specific instructions for running on macOS.

📝 Note for macOS users:
If the application is blocked on the first launch, after moving it to the Applications folder, you need to remove the quarantine attribute by opening the Terminal and running the command:
bash

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/LazBackupIncrementaleRar.app

The software is released under the MPL (Mozilla Public License).
