Journaling Backup 47 weeks 4 days ago

Is there any software that takes journaled backups for Ubuntu?

I'm currently using the built-in deja-dup, which is great. However, it backs up at most once every 24 hours (daily). Is there any way to have a backup system in Ubuntu that backs up a file every time it's changed?

Also: Could and/or would it make sense for a file-level backup system make use of ext4's journaling features?

Is it possible to disable file permissions on an ext3/4 file-system?

Just wondering if it's possible to completely disable or ignore file permissions on a ext3 or ext4 file system. Perhaps a mounting option?

I'm not concerned about the security implications as I would be doing this for testing and with removable media.

Even the Ubuntu Documentation is referring Ext3. Link

So, I would like to know whether Ext4 is currently stable on 11.10 or not than Ext3

I am looking for a partition imaging program, like Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image, that will run on the PC (not from live-cd or USB) and can save the image onto a separate partition.

Is there a way to mount (read/write) an encrypted file system on Windows? By "encrypted" I mean whatever it is that Ubuntu does to encrypt a file system when you choose that option during formatting. The underlying file system is in NTFS format.

A related question: is it correct to assume that encrypting and the file system format are completely independent things?
