1. About

	Back In Time is a simple backup tool for Linux, inspired by "flyback project".
	Currently there are 2 interfaces available: GNOME and KDE4.
	You only need to specify 3 things:
		* where to save snapshots
		* what folders to backup
		* backup frequency (manual, every hour, every day, every month)
