Apparently there is a new (to me at least) GUI backup utility out there that is supposedly for dummie desktop users. It is inspired by Apple's Time Machine and Linux Flyback.
The latest and greatest is apparently 0.926, which I was able to install easily from the repositories for my Fedora 11 laptop. Installing is as far as I got. There is practically no documentation and the menus in the GUI need a lot of explanation. For example, there is an Exclude tab, and when I clicked on it I expected to see a list of folders like /proc and /sys and /tmp. Instead there are things like .* and *backup* and +~. I am left to guess what these entries do, and why it did not automatically exclude things that should always be excluded. There is no explanation of how the pattern matching syntax works. I could go on about how confusing it is, but I thought I would ask if anyone else is using it and has information about how to configure it. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
