Let's not call the feature profiles, call it tasks.
For example:
* Alice has loads of videos and music stored in her home directory.
* This is a large amount of data that can't be backed up offsite in a reasonable time.
* She doesn't care too much about that stuff either
* However, her documents are very valuable to her
* Alice can set up two different deja-dup tasks to meet her needs
- Task 1, run daily, will back up her documents to Amazon S3
- Task 2, run weekly, will back up her videos and music to an external drive
* Bob is very paranoid about data loss, his files are very dear to him
* He is worried that he can lose work if his backup server is down or
remote backup fails because of a network outage.
* Bob sets up two tasks in his deja-dup
- Task 1, run daily will back up to a WebDAV server in his office
- Task 2, run daily will back up to his Amazon S3 account
* Jack is terminally paranoid, he wants his files spread up all over the place so that nobody but him
has a full copy. Plain old encryption is just not good enough for Jack
* Jack sets up 10 deja-dup tasks to back up his files to 10 different locations.
I shall second to the idea.
