Was looking for a painless utility to do regular incremental backups of a bunch of stuff on my Ubuntu box today, and ran across sbackup, which was sponsored by Google’s summer of code. The UI could do with a little polish, but it was dead easy to set up, and so far it looks like it’s just the job. (Might even have a go at getting it to work on OSX, as I’ve yet to find a free OSX utility that does what I want quite so easily.)

I just took a look at it. “make install” installs to /usr , not /usr/local . “make uninstall” is not implemented. That was enough for me not to trust it to do my backups, right there. 🙂
Yeah, I noticed that too and changed it straight away on OSX 🙂 (Didn’t notice where the Ubuntu package installed it though…)
