ta_tmachineon Time-Machine-style backup with rsync

When will this trend of "like time machine" backup software going to stop ?

Time Machine, as can be seen here http://www.apple.com/support/timemachine/ time machine is tightly integrated in the os and provides a self-defining interface and user experience.

This github page is for a wrapper shell script around rsync, which is not like time machine.

This has been going on for a while now, see Timevault (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeVault ), back in time (http://backintime.le-web.org/ ) or flyback (http://www.flyback-project.org/ ).

Please telling us your backup solution is like time machine when it lacks the kind of UX time machine offers, thanks !
