Backup</B></FONT></FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="FreeSans, sans-serif">Create a <B>"clone"
of your data at another location in no time, safely</B>.<BR><BR>Backup
any directory (source) to another (destination).<BR><BR>luckyBackup
copies over only the changes you've made to the source directory
and nothing more.<BR>You will be surprised when your huge source
is backed up in seconds (after the first time !!). <BR><BR>Whatever
changes you make to the source including adding, moving,
deleting, modifying files / directories etc, will have the same
effect to the destination. <BR><BR>Owner, group, time stamps,
links and permissions of files are preserved (unless stated
otherwise).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="FreeSans, sans-serif"><B>2. Sync</B><BR>Sync any
directories keeping the files that were most recently modified on
both of them. <BR><BR>Useful if you modify files on more than one
PCs (using a flash-drive and don't want to bother remembering
what did you use last.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="FreeSans, sans-serif"><B>3. Keep your data
safe</B><BR>luckyBackup first checks whether the directories
you've declared exist or if they are empty and warns you
accordingly. <BR><BR>You wouldn't want your 500GB music
collection backup (that took half a day to create !!) vanish in a
second if you forgot to mount the external drive that your source
is in !! <BR>You also wouldn't want to execute an rsync command
if your destination folder is in an external drive that you also
forgot to mount. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT FACE="FreeSans, sans-serif"><B>4. Simple / advanced
option</B><BR>The add/modify task dialog is quite simple and
everybody can use it with confidence.<BR>Hit on the "advanced"
pushbutton at the task properties window and a whole bunch of
other options will appear.<BR>If you know what you're doing
change anything at will.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="FreeSans, sans-serif"><B>5. Exclude option</B><BR>Exclude
any file, folder or pattern from the transfer.<BR>You might not
want to copy over backup files (*~), trash folders, system mount
folders (/media & /mnt), some huge video files or anything
else.<br><br>
Choose from already made templates or produce your own with the cool pattern editor.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="FreeSans, sans-serif"><B>6. Only include
option</B><BR>Use this option to only transfer over specific
file(s), folder(s) or pattern(s) within your source directory and
nothing else.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="FreeSans, sans-serif"><B>7. Add/remove any rsync
option</B><BR>If you don't like the default rsync options that
luckybackup uses, add or remove any option you wish.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="FreeSans, sans-serif"><B>8. Remote
connections</B><BR>Remote connections are possible, either for
use as a source or as a destination.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="FreeSans, sans-serif"><B>9. Also execute</B> <BR>You
can execute any command(s) before or after a specific task.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="FreeSans, sans-serif"><B>10. Restore
task</B><BR>Everybody wishes to never use this !!<BR>But when
this time comes, luckyBackup gives you the option to either go through a restore wizard or create a
task based on an existing one for restore purposes.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="FreeSans, sans-serif"><B>11. Simulation option</B><BR>If
you are unsure of the effects on your data when executing an
rsync command try the dry-run option. luckyBackup will perform a
trial run that doesn't make any changes (and produces mostly the
same output as a real run).<BR>Note: The progress-bar might be
misleading when using this.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="FreeSans, sans-serif"><B>12. Profiles</B><BR>You
don't have to create all tasks from scratch every time you start
luckyBackup.<br>You can save your preferences in a .profile file and
load it whenever needed. Use as many profiles as you like, export, import or duplicate them.</FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm"><FONT FACE="FreeSans, sans-serif"><B>13.
Include option – Execution order</B><BR>A separate check-box
can be used to include or not a task within a profile.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="FreeSans, sans-serif">The option to change the
execution order of tasks is also given.</FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm"><FONT FACE="FreeSans, sans-serif"><B>14.
Scheduling</B></FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="FreeSans, sans-serif">Scheduling for execution of
already created profiles via cronjobs is supported.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="FreeSans, sans-serif"><B>15. Logfile</B><BR>After
all tasks execution, a logfile is created in your home folder.
You can have a look at it any time you want.<br><br>
A handy logviewer that displays errors in red and has next/previous buttons, is also provided.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="FreeSans, sans-serif"><B>16. Command line
mode</B><BR>luckyBackup can run in command line if you wish not
to use the gui, but you have to first create the profile that is
going to be executed.<BR>Type "luckybackup --help" at a
terminal to see usage and supported options.</FONT></P>

For some reason, you might not wish to use the luckybackup's <a href="#cronIt">schedule feautre</a>, to have some jobs scheduled.<br>
Instead you might want to manualy configure your system to execute luckybackup by using <b>cron</b> or <b>anacron</b> or a <b>bash script</b> or anything.<br><br>
If that is the case, it is recommended to use the <b>--silent</b> together with the<b> --skip-critical</b> option to run luckybackup in

Something else that should be taken into consideration is that for the silent mode to run, a graphical environment is needed.<br>

Use this mode, to define file(s), folder(s) or pattern(s) that will not be excluded by the transfer.<br><br>
<b>concept - theory</b>:<br>
As the list of files/directories to transfer is built,
luckybackup checks each name to be transferred against the list of include/exclude patterns in turn,
and the first matching pattern is acted on: <br>if it is an exclude pattern, then that file is<b> skipped</b>;
<br>if it is an include pattern then that filename is <b>not skipped</b>; <br>if no matching pattern is found, then the filename is <b>not skipped</b>.<br><br>
Note that, when using the "<b>recurse into directories</b>" option, every subcomponent of every path is visited from the top down,
so include/exclude patterns get applied recursively to each subcomponent's full name (e.g. <b>to include “/foo/bar/baz” the subcomponents “/foo” and “/foo/bar”
must not be excluded</b>). <br>
The exclude patterns actually short-circuit the directory traversal stage when luckybackup finds the files to send.
If a pattern excludes a particular parent directory, it can render a deeper include pattern ineffectual because luckybackup did not descend through that
excluded section of the hierarchy. This is particularly important when using a trailing ‘*’ rule. For instance, this <b>won't work</b>:<br><br>
include: /some/path/this-file-will-not-be-found <br>
include: /file-is-included <br>
exclude: * <br><br>
This fails because the parent directory “some” is excluded by the ‘*’ rule, so luckybackup never visits any of the files in the “some” or “some/path” directories.
One solution is to ask for all directories in the hierarchy to be included by using a single rule: “<b>include: */</b>”, and perhaps use the <b>--prune-empty-dirs</b> option.<br>
This technique is used at the <a href="#OperationAdvancedOnlyIncludeMode">only include mode</a>.
Another solution is to add specific include rules for all the parent dirs that need to be visited. For instance, this set of rules <b>works</b> fine: <br><br>
include: /some/ <br>
include: /some/path/ <br>
include: /some/path/this-file-is-found<br>
include: /file-also-included <br>
include: *<br>

<P STYLE="margin-top: 0.1cm; margin-bottom: 0.1cm"><FONT FACE="FreeSans, sans-serif"><I>The
idea is that each user creates a public/private key pair for
authentication purposes. The server knows the public key, and
only the user knows the private key. <B>ssh </B>implements public
key authentication protocol automatically, using either the RSA
or DSA algorithms. The file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys lists the
public keys that are permitted for logging in. When the user logs
in, the <B>ssh</B> program tells the server which key pair it
would like to use for authentication. The client proves that it
has access to the private key and the server checks that the
corresponding public key is authorized to accept the account.</I></FONT></P>

After the profile execution is finished, the tray notification icon will stay there for a few seconds and then disappear, freeing the system's memory from any luckybackup process.<br>
In simple words, the app will exit.<br><br>
Click on the icon, any time during profile execution for the main application window to show.<br>
<b>NOTE</b> that if you do, luckybackup will not exit as it would normaly do.<br><br>
The silent mode can prove quite useful when executing luckybackup via <b>cron</b> or <b>anacron</b> or as <b>part a bash script</b>.<br>
Each time the job is run, you will be informed by the icon and the bubble message.
