Wow great tip. I named mine as /home/fakeer/Oo-AutoBackup. And auto save to 3 mins. I usually don't work with bulky files.
I use my Tomoboy notes in sync with a local folder which is in my Dropbox folder so no worries of losing data. And I can access it anywhere over Internet. However this can be placed in a folder which is in UbuntuOne too. But I prefer Dropbox. For those who keep sm handy files like a text files listing commands you might forget or your ISP login details (expect passwords :P ) You can link the files to actual files in one of the above two cloud backup tools, so that they are always there. Even if you accident delete them or loose somehow. **It would have been great if Dropbox or UbuntuOne gave the option to Sync folders from where ever they are rather than putting everything as duplicate on the same disk or in my case same directory. Share here if you know of such a service (free as in free beer). People who are not using Mozilla Weave to sync their Firefox profile (not all) to cloud should give it a try. It keeps everything of your Firefox data (e.g. passwords, booksmarks etc.) safe and encrypted. Cheers!!
