Aptik v19.12 is now available.
What’s New
Raspberry Pi 4B / ARM Support
Aptik is now available for Debian-based distributions on the ARM platform. This includes Raspberry Pi 3B/3B+/4B, Odroid N2, and other single-board computers running a 32-bit (armhf) or 64-bit(arm64) version of a Debian-based distribution (Raspbian, Armbian, Ubuntu, etc).
A tool like Aptik is less useful on single-board computers, as the SD card can be easily cloned instead of creating an Aptik backup. But it is useful in some situations.
Note:
- Only the Raspberry Pi 4B and Odroid N2 are officially supported as these are the only SBCs that I have available for testing.
- Steps for installation are same as for x86 platform. Please refer to the email you received when you purchased the licence.
Changelog
- Flatpak: Fix: Add support for newer Flatpak versions

Purchase
A personal license for Aptik is currently available for purchase. This is a single-user license that is valid for lifetime, and includes future updates.
Install / Update
You will receive an email with installation steps after you purchase a licence.
If you have already purchased the licence, the update will be installed automatically when you update your system. You can install it manually with following commands:
sudo apt update && \
sudo apt install aptik aptik-gtk
I only have access to the old free git version, so I don’t know if this is fixed already in your for-pay version: Repo.vala will think that any .list file that ends in a #deb comment is disabled, regardless of its other contents. Fixed by removing the ‘#[ \t]*’ substrings of the regexes in read_lines_debian.
I’m working on other fixes – drop me a line if interested.
The paid version handles repos in a different way.
I’m no longer developing the free version so the fix is not useful for me. Happy coding!
I am using both Timeshift and Aptik on my computer. I have got the paid Aptik version and using on my Kubuntu distro. Having timeshift on my Arch distro. However i intend to migrate my Arch installation to an other hard drive but sadly realized Aptik does not support anymore Arch? Not even the paid version??
