[ubuntu-uk] Watch and backup folder

[Bea Groves]

Hi!

Thanks for that suggestion, as it made the rsync command line easy to
sort out (the LuckyBackup GUI lets you dry-run the rsync settings and
then copy the commands to the clipboard). I used this to cobble together
a bash script that will do an once-a-day incremental copy of the
Documents folder to the SD card, and otherwise let Ubuntu One handle the
regular monitoring and backing up of new files to the remote cloud. Two
backups should keep the files safe! ;-)

Seems to be working fine.
