The SourceTrait productivity suite is comprised of three core products:

• SourceTrait Backup
• SourceTrait Filer
• SourceTrait Sync

SourceTrait Backup is a rotational backup system for workstation users.

It allows easy access to previous backups on the system to quickly restore lost work.

Full backups are typically ran monthly and incremental backups (changes only) are typically ran daily. Users can customize scheduling.

Backups can be configured to be zipped, encrypted, and securely synchronized across multiple devices and cloud storage providers.

There is no vendor lock-in; The reliable rsync backup tool is used internally and the same can be used manually if necessary.

SourceTrait Filer is a novel method of record-keeping using existing filesystem tools.

It assists users in filing consistently, according to their own rules, which in turn allows the entire directory structure to be reliably cross-referencable.

Files can be maintained entirely offline, self-hosted over a company network, or through a cloud service.

There is no vendor lock-in; No special tools are required to access anything.

SourceTrait Sync is a portable file synchronization system that maintains a user's important files in a standardized way across multiple operating systems.

It is essentially a unified repository that synchronizes the configuration of other repositories. It supports Git and SourceTrait Filer across any service provider. All files are categorized by the SourceTrait Who standard.

Each of the user's repositories are stored in a standard way within their home directory. The user can then configure symbolic links (shortcuts) for easy access, which is automatically replicated to any other operating system that they use.

SourceTrait Who is a standard used across our suite that allow users to operate under multiple roles on a single system.

We all wear a many hats. This is how SourceTrait classifes them ...

• At (org): The user's identity within an organization (typical work role)
  • /at/(org)/
• As (alias): The user's aliases and specialized roles (hobby accounts, admin roles, etc.)
  • /as/(alias)/ or /as/(org)/(role)/
• Me: The user's personal identity
  • /me/
