I certainly consider the lack of integrated backup one of the more glaring holes in our desktop. For something to be included in the desktop spin, it needs to be really towards the dead-simple, plug-in-a-backup-disk side. Not sure how well deja-dup fits into that category, I've never tried it. But getting it packaged for Fedora is the right first step in any case. Thanks for doing that !
It took a while, but we do have deja-dup in F13 and rawhide now. And I think it fits pretty well into the category I described here, so I think we should consider including it. Opinions ?
Has it undergone serious testing? If we toss it in, do we have some confidence that it will work and be stable? (While I realize we're all about pushing things forwards in Fedora, we have to take extra care of people's data.)
Thats a fair point. I have only done cursory testing of it. Maybe Rahul can say more about it. I think he said that he's been using it daily for months...
