[b]overview[/b]

The main goal of luckyBackup, as its name states,
is the creation of backups of your data.
Somebody once said:

[i]â€œ if you haven't backed up your data is like
not having them at all !! â€[/i]

That is because, based at the laws of probability,
some time, for some reason, something will happen
and you will lose valuable data. Another guy once
said:

[i]â€œ computer users can be divided into 2
categories:
Those that have lost data
...and those that have not lost data YET â€[/i]

I really wish you to never come to that situation.
But if you do, then I hope that you backed up your
data the very last minute either by using this
application or not :-)

[b]luckyBackup[/b] is an application that backs-up
and/or synchronizes any directories with the power
of rsync.

It is [b]simple to use[/b], [b]fast[/b] (transfers
over only changes made and not all data),
[b]safe[/b] (keeps your data safe by checking all
declared directories before proceeding in any data
manipulation ), [b]reliable[/b] and [b]fully
customizable[/b].
