Introduction
Simple BackupSolution for Ubuntu
- Snapshot functionality – to restore last good config
Rationale
User expects from their favourite OS the possibility to perform some sane and simple backups of their system.
Scope and Use Cases
- James Troup's laptop has been stolen, he wants his data back.
- HELP! my laptop is on fire! I must restore my music files somewhere else!
- Hey somebody on #ubuntu told me to run sudo rm / -rf and now nothing works.
Implementation Plan
- daily incremental backup of /etc.
- define a possible set of sane directories to backup if the user click on "backup now!" and where to store the backup.
- investigate dar as possible backend for multicd/dvd backups.
Data Preservation and Migration
none
Packages Affected
none
User Interface Requirements
- We need to develop a GUI for the backend.
Outstanding Issues
