fwbackups is a recommended desktop program to do backups of your Fedora system.

To install fwbackups from the fedora repositories, in terminal type

     yum install fwbackups

when done you can run the program by typing fwbackups into a terminal.

You can add it your startup programs by going to

 System > Preferences > Personal > Sessions > Startup Programs

Click Add and enter fwbackups to Name and Command.

I was unable to add it to my startup programs using a login created through Amahi ... I created a login through Fedora and I was then able to add it.

You can then specify within the program which folders (var/hda/files/...) you'd like to be backed up to whichever destination directory you'd like. The destination directories can be externally mounted drives
