Deja-dup Backup soas-v2-Blueberry

PRELIMINARY

Déjà Dup provides a nice graphical interface for backing up your SoaS live USB/SD installation


Déjà Dup is a simple backup tool. It hides the complexity of doing backups the 'right way' (encrypted, off-site, and regular) and uses Duplicity as the backend.

Features:

  • Support for local or remote backup locations, including Amazon S3
  • Securely encrypts and compresses your data
  • Incrementally backs up, letting you restore from any particular backup
  • Schedules regular backups
  • Integrates well into your GNOME desktop

Installation

  • Boot Blueberry CD
  • Download rpm :
sugar-terminal:
su
wget http://sundaram.fedorapeople.org/packages/deja-dup-11.1-1.fc12.i686.rpm
yum install duplicity libnautilus=extension.so.1
(insert 8GB USB fat 32)
