check the new version of yourgnome, the simple solution for creating backup of Gnome.

yourgnome version 2 has a Graphical User Interface (GUI), and it's more easier than first version !, try it and any bugs just report using Google system.

Hello again AbuYusuf. Haven'y tried the GUI version yet. I ran the backup and enabled it as a experiment with your previous version. It worked like a charm. Thank you for the good work. I refered your backup of Gnome to some friends blogs.

I meant to pop by and say thanks. I recut my whole system recently and came across this by chance. It saved me a lot of nonsense. I might try have a look a the GUI version too. Thanks for posting this.

Installed Gui Version just now AbuYusuf. On your instructions it says to run the "install.sh" . I found that one needs to run "yourgnome2.sh" for it to work. I'm not gripping or anything. Just giving out info for anybody that uses the GUI version. Happy Trails.

EDIT: I think I figured how the GUI version is supposed to work now. When you run "install.sh" that creates a yourgnome Temp folder. Then when you run "yourgnome2.sh" you can put the backuptargz into the yourgnome Temp folder. I thought when I ran "install.sh" that when the terminal flashed and closed that nothing had happened. My bad. Good work there AbuYusuf.
