Ubuntu auto backup

[rwslippey]

Hello all,

I just switch back to ubuntu after running the windows for about a 6 months again, new laptop, programs needed in windows, either way I'm back and you bet I'm glad!..

What I had setup in windows were specific files that would auto backup to my samba file server when the network was detected. I'm looking to do the same in ubuntu now.

Basicly I'm thinking of writing a script to backup the files, only thing I'd be stuck with is how to tell the script to run when I connect to the network at home?

Any ideas, or is their software already designed for this, thanks in advance...

Rob

I don't know if it'd work or not but rsynch might be an option
