Thanks. I don't use the Desktop Search that often but I think one can bind a shortcut to it. On the rsync, I can mount the remote file system and browse through the backups in the Double Commander or Thunar, so the graphical aspect is fully there. Plus, I have reports in the Terminal when the last successful backup was done. I don't really think I miss anything. Edit: the rsync setup to do incremental backups and naming backup folders after the day of the week is mentioned on the rsync's home: https://rsync.samba.org/examples.html https://rsync.samba.org/examples.html It's interesting how much more creative backups can be when you have full control over rsync on which, if I am not wrong, the Time Machine itself is built.
