I know I am seemly always harping about backing up your data (which you should be doing!), so today I am going to pester Linux users out there.

I ran across a great article about creating a backup reminder script. The author uses this script on his laptop to remind him to back his data up to another drive. He goes into some detail about how to implement his script on your computer as well as links to other resources to help you develop your own backup script.

If this seems a little too advanced for you, try something like SBackup instead. SBackup is available in the Ubuntu Repositories if this is your OS of choice.
