There are two modes of operation of the luckyBackup program: it can be run as a superuser or as a regular user. If you are going to create a backup of your data, you can run it as a regular user, but if you are going to create a system backup, you must do it as a superuser;
luckyBackup copies over only the changes you’ve made to the source directory and nothing more. Whatever changes you make to the source including adding, moving, deleting, modifying files/directories etc, will have the same effect to the destination. Owner, group, time stamps, links and permissions of files are preserved (unless stated otherwise);
It is possible to create multiple backups of “snapshots”. Rolling back to any of the snapshots is possible;
Sync. Sync any directories keeping the files that were most recently modified on both of them;
luckyBackup first checks whether the directories you’ve declared exist or if they are empty and warns you accordingly;
