[sf-lug] Backups are important

[Asheesh Laroia]

so they should be easy.

There's an app I mentioned to Kristian at yesterday's SF-LUG meeting 
called TimeVault.  It looks like this: 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeVault/ScreenShots , has a home page at 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeVault , and has this overview:

   	TimeVault is a simple front-end for making snapshots of a set of
   	directories. Snapshots are a copy of a directory structure or file at a
   	certain point in time. Restore functionality is integrated into Nautilus -
   	previous versions of a file or directory that has a snapshot can be
   	accessed by examining the properties and selecting the 'Previous Versions'
   	tab.

   	Snapshots are protected from accidental deletion or modification since
   	they are read-only by default. The super-user can delete intermediate
   	snapshots to save space, but files and directories that existed before or
   	after the deletion will still be accessible.

If you want to have backups of your home directory, these are the steps to 
follow:

1. Install this sucker

2. Follow the documentation in the Documentation section

More details another time.  I'm interested in Kristian's and others' 
thoughts.
