I'm not going to worry about Grsync's update history just yet. In
taking a look at it, he seems to have updated it every year or two.
This is the first time it's been three years and that's probably
because an update is unnecessary.
The only update to rsync since the last Grsync release was in January
of 2018. It provided security fixes and bug fixes, both of which are
automatically used without any changes needing to be made to Grsync.
It also provided some enhancements, none of which affect any of the
default choices in Grsync and all of which can be run from within
Grsync if you'd like to use them.
Back In Time and luckyBackup both use rsync, are both in the Ubuntu
repositories, and have both been updated more recently than Grsync,
so those might be good alternatives if you prefer to use software
that's actively updated.
