How To Install Simple Backup

Simple Backup is a series of programs that enable quick and easy backup and restoration of personal data, as well as system configuration files. Its output, which takes the form of backup directories containing an archive of the files, plus configuration data, can be written to your hard disk (or a network mount attached to it), or to a remote Internet location, such as an FTP server.

Simple Backup was created courtesy of the Google Summer of Code sponsorship scheme and was designed with the help of Ubuntu developers. To install Simple Backup, open Synaptic Package Manager (System -> Administration), and then search for sbackup. Click its entry in the list of results, mark it for installation, and click Apply. You’ll then find entries for the backup and restoration components of Simple Backup on the System -> Administration menu.
