[xubuntu-users] Rookie question on backups

[Guang Chao]

For general backup to copy your files from one folder to another, or one
folder to another machine, rsync is great.  Just this one tool and a single
command can do many wonders.  Very efficient too as it transfer only files
that have changes.  For more complex stuff, there are many scripts
available on github that compress and rotate stuff.  For me, if all I need
to backup are small files, I actually use git, because it is historical.
