How can I make a pop-up gtk window say "Backup time" Mondays and Fridays on my desktop?:guitar:

You can use zenity to make simple GUI widgets.



#!/bin/bash
zenity --info --title="Backup" --text="Time to Backup"


(Install zenity and make this executable)

Now you will have to use cron to make it run at certain times, research that independantly, or wait for another response. I have no experience using it.

/etc/crontab

It seems simple enough, but I am not going to give examples unless I am sure it would work. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron

You may use gnome-schedule (apt://gnome-schedule) to configure cron easily. :)
