[nmglug] "save the data" fresh install ubuntu 10.10

[BrianO'Keefe]

Hi A,

I don't use cron and do the backups when I remember to, mainly because 
my box isn't always running. I do a manual backup about once a week, 
depending on usage.
Back in time should restore anything that it has backed up and I can't 
imagine why it wouldn't.
Can't help on the terminal output, sorry, I use the GUI for Flyback. 
Check the web for forums and see if that can help you.
