Here's how to download and compile it on Linux Mint (and probably Ubuntu as well): $ sudo apt-get install intltool - This installs the latest version of intltool $ wget http://downloads.diffingo.com/fwbackups/fwbackups-1.43.4.tar.bz2 - Download the source file $ tar -xjf fwbackups-1.43.4.tar.bz2 - Extract it $ cd fwbackups-1.43.4/ - move into the extracted directory. The compilers you will need were installed by default in my Linux Mint 11. $ sudo ./configure - The "configure" is the first step in compiling $ sudo make - "make" is the second step $ sudo make install - copies the compiled binary to your bin directory so you can run it just by typing the command $ fwbackups - This should launch the GUI and get you started! Hope this helps! -Jordan Compiling is actually pretty easy on Mint. Here’s how to download and compile it on Linux Mint (and probably Ubuntu as well):

However, I can't find fwbackups in the ubuntu or mint repo's, including multiverse, universe, etc. I prefer not to download and compile the source. Is there a repo where I can get this?
