Snap2

simple yet fast and powerful rsync-based backup program with GUI interface

If you would like to keep 'snapshots' of your files (all of them or some of them) as they were hours ago, days ago, weeks ago, etc., this program will do that, automatically "spacing out" the backups over time.

You will be able to access past versions of your files and recover them with any file manager. Or, if you specify a remote server for the backup storage, you can recover the files via ftp, scp, or rsync.

Thanks to the use of hard links, snap2 can backup up several gigabytes of files to a one-gig USB drive, without compression. Only new and modified files are actually transfered, and thanks to rsync magic, only changed portions of files are transmitted.

For those cases where you only need a single backup, snap2 can also do a simple 'mirror' backup.

snap2 has an easy GUI. It has an automatic backup scheduler (via cron). It's feature-rich yet simple and flexible.

I don't usually say things like this, but, get a life. People will find things on their own, and if they can't they will come to the forums and make a thread, why don't you answer some of those? Even if you were trying to help, don't make thread after thread, just make one and edit it.

Small GTK Timekeeping Utilities

Here are a few timekeeping utilties I've come across in my travels.

LightSword Alarm Clock and Countdown Timer - customizable messages, sounds, and scripting.
GworldClock Timezone Utility - for figuring out what time it is in other timezones.
Gstpw Stopwatch
Simple GTK Time Tracker - if the business menu seems a little anemic, this is a nice addition.

AtomPup SFS

AtomPup is a suite of console applications, targeted at people with limited hardware and console-lovers. It requires extremely minimal system resources (32 MBs of RAM and basically any processor). Atom includes many many fixes that make everything work well, it's more than a pile of compiled applications.

Inxi offers a wide range of built-in options, as well as a good number of extra features which require having the script recommends installed on the system. Check recommends to see what's needed for each extra feature. Check sources for latest inxi version number.

Inxi has been developed so that it should work reasonably well on most GNU/Linux distributions. The script comes pre-installed in Mint Linux and AntiX, as well as soon Arch Linux, and hopefully soon more distributions as maintainers / users discover it and find it's a nice tool.

Inxi works on KDE 4 and the qt4 version of Konversation using qdbus, as well as on most other Irc clients we have found to test it on, including Quassel, which includes inxi with its script built-ins last I checked, though often an older version.

SFS_Installer

This is a drag and drop SFS installer that will install an SFS on the fly and also create an entry in Puppy Package Manager for removal just like it was a PET file.
The post says it is for full installs of Puppy. But I have used it with great success with a frugal install also.
This is Trio's creation. And he gets all credit for it.
