I confess to not even being aware of this utility. Backup has been something of a black box to me. I'll certainly give it a try.
My .filetool.lst and .xfiletool.lst are purposely empty. When I reboot, and the backup option is checked (by default) I receive an error because they are empty. I would prefer that it just backed up nothing for two reasons:One, is that I would always ...
I do a lot of websurfing, and I clear the (Opera) browser cache before I exit, but I do notice a gradual increase in backup time. I think it's mostly cookies (which of course keep increasing as you websurf). Unfortunately a lot of sites expect you to h...

I'm trying to setup a backup script on Ubuntu. Every day I want to copy my local source directory to a backup directory on a remote server uniquely named with the date. (e.g., backup-jan1/, backup-jan2/, etc) It should store a mirror of the earliest state and use difference files to recreate the new backup points.
