Déjà Dup backup tool

Déjà Dup is a simple backup tool. It hides the complexity of doing backups the 'right way' (encrypted, off-site, and regular) and uses duplicity as the backend.

Easy backup with File Backup Manager

File Backup Manager

I have tried a lot of backup programs and there is a lot of good ones out there, but for stability and an easy interface I have become a fan of File Backup Manager

This is not an understatement at all, Ubuntu is really a wonderful project that (according to me) brings Linux to the next level. With every new version it takes a step closer to perfection.

“Out of the box” I don’t see any major problem with it for normal user use, but there are off curse some special needs that aren’t fulfilled and some hardware that needs some “hands on” configuration to work properly. I’m going to post things on this site that I have had difficulties with and how to solve them.

Most “howto” apply on most Ubuntu versions (even some other Linux distribution). These tweaks have worked for me, but its no guarantee that it will for you, so it’s on your own risk.
