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
Documents folder

OK - sorry if I annoy some folk here's the script I use. Zenity
(the gui bit) is messy and complicated, but useful.

I use LuckyBackup, its a GUI front end for rsync. Its pretty fast at
copying over files that have been changed and has an optional feature to
delete those that you've got rid of.
Although I don't think it has a way of continually monitoring for
changes. I only use it for doing an occasional backup

That's exactly the sort of thing I'd have thought it wouldn't protect
again
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
enough of a belt-and-braces approach to cover the issue. Any idea what a
bash script for this job would look like? ;-)

Hi Avi!
It doesn't have to be an SD card. At one point it was an external HDD.
Indeed this system has 'saved my life' on a number of occasions when
I've deleted a file by enthusiastic accident or managed to exile myself
from my own Ubuntu login by messing around with the system. It does
happen! ;-

I'm using the Ubuntu One cloud to do exactly that - and
