Sure, but if I'm not comfortable with the terminal, I probably shouldn't be too loud with my criticisms of shell scripts.

- kkjjkgjjgg 5y agoIt just seems a pity that knowledge of shell scripts is necessary to do backups.
- bccdee 5y agoYeah I bet there are good GUI tools out there, but I always want to go for the stuff I can script myself, so I can hook desktop notifications into it and such. It makes it hard for me to recommend backup tools to the non-technical people in my life, because they're looking for GUI solutions with the corners rounded off, and I want something crunchy and scriptable.
