[member=6960]Vera[/member] -- FreeFileSync is most similar to what rsync does. But it has the slick interface, which makes it more user-friendly.
I'm looking at other options, and I've found Grsync, which adds a simple (Gnome) front-end to the rsync tool. I haven't used it. Do others have experience with it, good or bad? Or can recommend other user-friendly file backup tools? With the goal being to provide easily accessible tools for new users, a file backup tool should:
* be easy to set up (not a lot of technical back-end required),
* be easy to understand the options, and
* give easy access to adjusting options.
* Bonus points for having a small footprint, which is where Gsync probably wins.
