Conflicts: luckybackup<br>Description: rsync-based GUI data backup utility<br> luckyBackup is an application that backs-up and/or synchronizes any directories with the power of rsync. Its main features are:<br> backup, safety, synchronization, exclude/only include options, allows custom rsync options, remote connections, restore and dry-run<br>
operations, scheduling, profiles and command line mode. <br> <br> It is simple to use, fast (transfers over only changes made and not all data), safe (keeps your data safe by checking all declared<br> directories before proceeding in any data manipulation ), reliable and fully customizable.<br>
