Store important files in the Downloads folder? Remove it from the “Folders to ignore” list. Putting the backup on the same drive as the original files is a bad idea - you’ll lose both the backup and the originals if the drive fails.įrom the Folders pane, you can easily change the folders Déjà Dup backs up. The local folder option can back up your data to an external drive or other local storage device. Déjà Dup’s encryption protects your data with a password you provide. You can also back up to other types of remote servers, including FTP, SSH, WebDAV, and Windows shared folders. If you back up to Ubuntu One (and have set up Ubuntu One on your computer) your backup will be accessible from any computer, so you can easily restore your personal data on any Linux system. From the Storage pane, you can customize where Déjà Dup puts your backups.
