Hi! Thanks for that suggestion, as it made the rsync command line easy to sort out (the LuckyBackup GUI lets you dry-run the rsync settings and then copy the commands to the clipboard). I used this to cobble together a bash script that will do an once-a-day incremental copy of the Documents folder to the SD card, and otherwise let Ubuntu One handle the regular monitoring and backing up of new files to the remote cloud. Two backups should keep the files safe! ;-)
