    [Screenshots] System Settings > Backup

    Hi fellow testers, I just wanted to share this, as I believe it's a huge step forward for Ubuntu. The Déjà Dup project leader, Michael Terry, deserves a big thank you:

    What other OSs? Every other major OS has integrated backup. Win7 from 2009 IIRC and OSX from 2007.
    WARNING: "sudo rm -rf /" = BAD Read this for more information.

    This? Either way, it's a good thing.

    Also because of this (in Nautilus or on the Desktop):

    1. Right click on any file for a "Revert to Previous Version..." option.

    2. Right click within a folder for a "Restore Missing Files..." option.

    Don't want to seem dumb but I do not have the backup option on my System settings. Which packages do I need to install or is there a PPA.

    Running Gnome3 if that makes a difference.

    Thanks.
