Backups Made Easy

I’ve always had a hard time finding a reliable backup solution that was easy to set up and to work with after the initial set up.  As I mentioned in an earlier posting, I think I found an excellent solution for those of us with a desktop computer and an external hard drive.  The application that I’m using is called Back In Time.  You can find it at http://backintime.le-web.org/ .  It was extemely easy to set up and thus far as exceeded all of my expectations.  I’ve got it backing up to my new hard disk every hour and have found it very easy to go through and ensure that all of my important data is there.  The interface is easy and in about 15 minutes I had everything important to me being backed up.  It is really something everyone that is running linux as their desktop should at least look into.
