Backups

[Fabio T. Leitao]

For my desktop I usually use BackInTime, which has a really good GUI for
rsync and hardlinks (to prevent disk waste) in a similar way that Apple does
with TimeMachine ... I have set it to save to an external HDD with the
autoremove feature keeping a smart schedule to drop the older files. Really
easy to use, good GUI, fast to restore, crontab, textual config file under
~/.config ...

Have in mind, it has nothing to do with a full feature backup solution for a
server / enterprise / datacenter
