FWIW, this is exactly the use-case I'm missing. I would like to copy my personal data to an external hard drive, remote server or cloud storage service, so that if my hard drive goes boom, I can get my settings, documents, photos, etc back after installing a new distribution on a new system. I'm not that bothered about a full system recovery for a GNOME back-up tool. So I applaud your focus :) Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Neary GNOME Foundation member dne...@gnome.org _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
