Deja-dup Backup
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_(software) 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

In the Terminal Activity, first switch users to the root user,
su
Then install the software,
yum install duplicity deja-dup

/usr/share/sugar/activities /home/liveuser/Activities liveOS and syslinux directories (Overlay-live-xxx (persistence) OSmin.img Squashfs.img files
- Does Not back up the Sugar Journal
- Use the same soas.iso to make a replacement USB device for Restoration.
- Can be sugarized Talk:Sugar_on_a_Stick/Installation/Variations#How_To_Sugarize_liveusb-creator so it will appear as an installed application in the Home view of Mirabelle.
- Sugar Clone, Sugar on a Stick/Sugar Clone, will duplicate a live SoaS installation.
