[ale] Linux GUI or CLI backup tool

[Sergio Chaves]

I tried (am trying) Grsync - simulation mode - over sshfs for a initial 30 gig 
full backup and just an incremental backup thereafter. plenty of room in the 
server.

It stalls after the first 20 gig. It seems like it is doing something but it 
has been over 2 hours on the same directory, showing no progress at all.

The Back-in-time tool refuses to see the backup server directory mounted on 
the lapotop.

Any clues?



Best regards,


Sergio Chaves
