Based on my weird ideas, I cooked up a small scipt that will save me some time by automatically versioning new files that come up in my home directory. You "may/may not" have any use for it but if you want to have a peek, it's right here. Feel free to modify or use it for something else (that is weirder).

What it does : It compares and finds out a list of newly created files/directories, asks whether to add them (or ignore them) and then commits the changes and pushes it to my Amazon S3 drive. You will want to take care of the paths in there that are specific to my system.

Have fun!

Backing up your home directory is very essential, and the cream is not just the data that you save out there, but the milestones that keep track of how your data changes over time. That is what actually gets you the best possible data restore. Oh! and don't get me wrong, I am not talking about keeping track of your deleted impressive movie collection or mp3s; there are a tons of ways to handle them. If you are not getting my idea, think emails, think resumes, think an article you have been working on and also think of a lot of other useful things that you could possibly imagine.
