Another snapshot utility - but not rsync based - is time vault. Check it out - it's worth a look. It has got nautilus integration for easy recovery. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeVault the polarizer Just to mention it here. Another snapshot utility - but not rsync based - is time vault.

Even though this is the nicest gui for rsync I saw till now (I use it actively to), I'm not sure how active development is at this moment. Let's hope developing won't stop! Another question: did somebody get the terminal command working under crontab? For me it doesn't remove the lockfile after finishing the backup, so it won't make another backup until I remove this lockfile manually.
