accessible backup program

[Nolan Darilek]

Sorry, I meant to reply to the list but realize that I must not have.

I recommended deja-dup to the OP a while back. I've used this 
successfully for a few weeks now and it's a rather nice app, somewhat 
like TimeMachine for OS X but with a bit less customizability (I.e. I'm 
not sure you can do anything more than restore one previous revision, 
but I could be wrong.) It was fairly easy to configure, accessible and 
is nicely fire-and-forget, requiring no manual intervention to perform 
backups.
