[sf-lug] Backups are important

Someone had showed me TimeVault before, but it looks to be much more
mature now!  If it works well, this is exactly the type of app that
should be installed by default for future versions of Ubuntu.
However, the problem comes when someone's Xorg config breaks, for
instance, and they have no way of restoring it (because the GUI is all
they know).  So, maybe someone could hack a boot-kernel dedicated to
when your machine gets b0rked, which possibly relies on TimeVault
snapshots.

And in terms of backup software...
