I'm guessing that there will be some people here who like me have a healthy lack of trust in cloud "backups" and proprietary backup formats. I've been working on a tool to help me back up my laptop home folder to a usb disk.

I'd love to know if anyone else thinks like me, and if anyone else would find this useful.

I'd be open to any alpha testing and feedback.

I'm a linux user, but it would be cool to get it to support windows and mac too.

This is my first post here, bit I think it might be a bit of a spiritual home. I lost a lot of data from cheap CD-R disks many years ago (it literally peeled off) and have been paranoid about data loss ever since.
