So what do you suggest using in Trisquel? I have tried several packages in Ubuntu, never found something particularly easy/quick to backup and archive easily (two different things). Unison looked interesting but takes forever on big file trees. So I am back to rsync. I'd love to hear about interesting packages to do backups on a Trisquel desktop. F.
I use luckyBackup and it works fine for my needs. It is a rsync front-end and enables me to backup the data from my desktop to my home server. It also keeps a history so that if you screw up and erase an important file for instance, you can retrieve it from the backup (the backup is not a mere mirror of the source data).
On top of that, I have an external hard-drive, that I don't keep at home, but at my office, and which contains an encrypted backup of all my important data.
I urge anyone reading this thread who doesn't have any backup to do it NOW! Losing data forever is a horrible feeling (it happened to me once, when my apartment was burglarized and someone stole my laptop. The backup I had was very very old and some things I lost forever :(...).
