In the following tutorial I am going to teach you in a very simple way, to how to back up of the data saved in your system with a native application in ubuntu 12 04 call Backup, or better known as let-dup.
The tool is very simple and intuitive to use, as well as being suitable for synchronizing and saving the Backup with our account of Ubuntu One.
As soon as we open the application, a window will appear with only two options, one for restore a backup saved, and another to enter the configurations of the backup, where we will find the option to perform the Back-Up or backup.
Within the configurations we can choose the folders or directories to include In the backup copy, as well as the folders to be excluded, it will also give us the option to synchronize the copy in the cloud through our account Ubuntu One.
Another feature of this sensational application of support, is the possibility of programming when and how the backup, as well as choosing whether to make full copies or just the newly added files.
I said, a program suitable for all kinds of users which will keep all our most important files in good custody to have them at hand at any time and restore from any Linux-based operating system.

One question, I have two partitions (one for root and one for / home) suppose I want to make a copy of a partition (in this case root). Is it possible? For that I have to be inside Ubuntu, right? Is it possible with the program that you tell us?
So far I have done it with the clonezilla, since it allows me to make copies of the partitions.
Maybe the question is a bit stupid, but I am a newbie.
Thanks for your feedback
