Slipstream's goal is to provide the user's a dead-simple process for backing up their legally owned home-media to a wide array of formats, including a full backup. Slipstream can be used with it's GUI, as CLI, or as an importable package.
It's trying to be different from the other solutions out there by providing as much information about the home-media as one could need while being stupid simple to use.
Preview as of December 2021.

Working with the Source Code
This project requires Poetry, so feel free to take advantage and use it for its various conveniences like building sdist/wheel packages, creating and managing dependencies, virtual environments, and more.
Note:
- Source Code may have changes that may be old, not yet tested or stable, or may have regressions.
- Only run or install from Source Code if you have a good reason. Examples would be to test for regressions, test changes (either your own or other contributors), or to research the code (agreeing to the LICENSE).
- Poetry is required as it's used as the PEP 517 build system, virtual environment manager, dependency manager, and more.
Install from Source Code
git clone https://github.com/rlaphoenix/Slipstream.git
cd Slipstream
python -m pip install --user .
Building source and wheel distributions
poetry build
You can specify -f to build sdist or wheel only. Built files can be found in the /dist directory.
Packing with PyInstaller
python -m pip install --user pyinstaller
poetry run python pyinstaller.py
The frozen build will be available in /dist. You may do both .exe and Folder builds. See ONE_FILE bool in pyinstaller.py.
