The revisions let you track differences between multiple versions of a post.
This manual shows one simple method of backing up and restoring your files.
Installation
The application you need to download is Déjà Dup. This can be done in several ways:
- Opening Add/Remove Applications (in the Main Menu at the bottom-left of the screen), searching for Déjà Dup, and installing it
- Opening the Synaptic Package Manager (via System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager in the Main Menu), searching for the deja-dup package, and installing it
- Opening a terminal and typing in sudo apt-get install deja-dup
Configuration
Backing up
When you are ready to make your backup, simply click and enter your encryption password if necessary. The first time, you will be asked to choose a backup location and which files to include or exclude. Wait until the process is completed.
