Command Center 0.7.0 adds backup file history: find every saved version of a file across your backups and restore the one you want.

What's new

  • Backup file history: in Backup & Restore → File history, search all Restic snapshots for a file name (for example notes.md, matched in any folder), an exact path (~/Documents/report.odt), or a pattern (*.kdbx), with optional Ignore case.
  • See how a file changed over time: results are grouped by path, newest first. Each saved copy shows when it was backed up, the snapshot and host, and the file's modification time and size, marked First saved, Changed or Same as previous. Show only versions that changed hides identical copies.
  • Find deleted files: if newer snapshots of the same machine and backup path no longer contain a file, the result says it may have been deleted or moved, and when it was last saved.
  • Restore a chosen version: Restore this version fills the restore form with that snapshot and the file's exact path. Pick a new destination folder and review. Restores still never overwrite existing files and are verified as they're written.
  • Wiki user guide: a step-by-step guide to every page and feature, now linked from the README: https://github.com/Commanderx-code/command-center/wiki

Behavior to know

  • Searching is a reviewed, read-only job. It lists snapshots, then searches all of them, so it can take a while on large repositories and may ask KWallet to unlock. Nothing is restored until you review a restore.
  • "Changed" compares size and modification time between copies. It doesn't compare file contents.
  • A search matching a huge number of files can't be displayed. Search a more specific path instead.
  • Restic treats *, ? and [ in paths as pattern characters. For file names containing them, check the include path before restoring.

Linux downloads

The .deb and .rpm assets target x86_64 and require glibc 2.35+, GTK 3, WebKitGTK 4.1, and the platform's AppIndicator library. Notifications additionally use notify-send. File restores and file history require Restic 0.17+.

# Debian / Ubuntu
sudo apt install ./command-center_0.7.0_amd64.deb

# Fedora / RPM
sudo dnf install ./command-center-0.7.0-1.x86_64.rpm

# Arch / Garuda (built against current Arch libraries)
sudo pacman -U ./command-center-0.7.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Download SHA256SUMS beside the package and run:

sha256sum --check --ignore-missing SHA256SUMS

Build and validation

Both packages were built once on Ubuntu 22.04 (glibc 2.35), then installed and launched as a normal user on Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, Ubuntu 24.04 and Fedora 43. The Arch package was built from the release tag with packaging/aur/PKGBUILD in a clean container, linted with namcap, installed and launched.
