Backing up Ubuntu

[compdoc]

Timeshift is my new best friend. I had a second drive laying around, so 
I have timeshift backing to it.

There arent many settings. I selected rsync, location, the default 
schedule, (runs daily and keeps 5 backups) and which users to backup. I 
selected all users. You can add filters.

There is a summary of files/folders. The defaults include all the 
important folders like /boot and /etc, and exclude swap files and other 
things.

It runs at random times, so I have not yet noticed it running. Each 
backup is full. My drive has 76 gigs used, and the backups are 55 gigs 
each. I think I'll have it keep 7 backups, and add a monthly...
