Hi!
I wonder if someone can come up with a solution to a little problem? In
the 'bad old days' when I used Windows there was a little program called
'Rapid Backup' that I used to monitor my My Documents folder on a
continuous basis. When a file was written to or modified within the
folder (or any

Hi Barry!
I'd forgotten about Ubuntu One! Just switched it on and logged in. That,
together with an rsync periodic (daily?) backup to the SD card might be

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
