'Time Machine' for Linux

Today, I was talking with a friend of mine who is a 'Mac' user.
During our conversation, she showed me the 'TimeMachine' application and I was amazed for the quality and how useful it is.

I'm a Linux fan and promptly I came back to my laptop and search for similar applications available for Linux, then, I found those:

• flyback: tool developed by 'Google' people under python. It's very simple at this time, but I expect some enhancements in the near future.  'flyback' is an early stages it is a GUI for grouping a set of tools already available on Linux.
• Dirvish: although the 'news' section suggest a high activity levels during 2003 up to 2005, there is an announcement of the dirvish guide submitted on October 2008, so the project has not die.
• TimeVault: I didn't test.
  
  

Try some one, it could save your work and 'life', :-D.

Cheers,

Port associated to Process in Linux

Many times, it's necessary to identify what application has assigned a given port. According to www.linuxquestions.org there are three ways to achieve that:

• lsof -w n -i tcp:#### 
• fuser -n tcp ####
  
• netstat -anp | grep :####

enjoy it!
