I think it would be
a good idea to have a little GUI applet under Applications -> System Tools
of Edubuntu
Gnome to do backup and restore using tar. I have seen Archive Manager, but it
is still
too open-ended. If Edubuntu is really targeted at educators who are not geeks,
the function of system and user backup is essential, but not obvious how to
accomplish. The options should be kept simple, like choosing full vs incremental
backup, whole system vs user data only, and selection of storage medium. The
specification of tar switches and standard directory exclusions should be
automatic.
I know the features
for Dapper has been frozen, so this can be included later.
Is there anyone else
who has thoughts on this? Could it be useful for Ubuntu as
well?
