Aptik v24.02

Aptik v24.02 is now available.

What’s New

Include Icons, Themes, Fonts from the base distribution

Icons, themes, and fonts that are part of the base distribution will be included in backups instead of excluding them. This gives better results when restoring to a different Linux distribution. If the new distribution does not have the required packages in its repositories, the icons/themes/fonts will be restored from the backup.

Faster Snap Restore

Restoring snap packages is now super-fast.

Previously, snap packages were downloaded and installed when restoring. This takes time as packages need to be downloaded from the internet.

Aptik now saves the Snap package files to the backup location and reinstalls using the same files. This is very quick. Packages will be downloaded only if the snaps are not found in the backup location.

Header bars

All windows now use Gtk Headerbars.

The terminal window actions were moved to the header bar for a better look.
