Linux time machine

Just saw this on Slashdot; a python script that gives you a GUI front end to rsync that works much like the Mac OS X 10.5 Time Machine.

Interesting. I'll consider that.

Yeah, it's not terribly fancy, but I'm thinking it might be a good response to the numerous questions about automated backup tools.

Also, after encountering a parsing error, I discovered in the project's discussion section that a small tweak is necessary for Gutsy 64-bit. Insert the following at line 648:

def show_prefs_dialog(self):
            prefs_gui(self)

Right before "def hide_window ...". Python is sensitive to indentations, so make sure the indentation in this addition matches that of the previous routine.
