@elehack I appreciate your perspective. In fact, I use rsync myself for my own backups.

But I am targeting developing-world users that simply need a GUI only to handle version backups. These users also don't have good understanding of "size", and have shared videos and music all over the place, as are their files. Organization is a challenge.

I am hopeful there is a SIMPLE Gui that they can use (for backup AND restore such as the integrated Nautilus functionality to restore missing files).

Duplicity already contains these features, so I am not asking for an oddball syntax. I am just asking that this standard functionality of duplicity be considered for the deja-dup GUI.

For rsync backups, the Grsync gui is quite good. But even this is way too complicated for my targeted users (and in this way won't provide VERSIONED backups).
