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 subfolder) then it was immediately copied by Rapid Backup
to an 8Gb SD card which I kept permanently plugged into the PC for the
purpose. It was a really good system, and I'm looking for  similar
software in Ubuntu (I'm running Natty).

To reiterate, all the software has to do is:

a) Monitor the Documents folder (and all subfolders) on a continuous basis
b) If a file or folder is created or modified, then copy the changes to
another drive or folder of my choice (e.g. an SD card)

I have yet to find anything that does this, or that does it without
entailing a lot of scripting knowledge (at which I'm rather a newbie!).

Any suggestions? Thanks!
