The Sparky Backup System project consists of the sparky-backup-core and sparky-backup-sys commands, which have been updated with improved copying support of all installed desktop environments and window managers, as well as support for more desktops and other graphical interfaces.

The copying script has been improved mostly to avoid various output errors that occurred during the copy process, so everything should function as described now. Another important change is the removal of the ‘backup” option from both the sparkybackup script and its graphical user interface, namely ‘sparkybackup-gui’.
