A few years ago, I used elementary OS for my workstation at work. As part of an upgrade, I ran their backup program to make a backup to a removable disk. It went through the full backup process. Apparently, there was a 'bug' in the software where if you click on it, and then hit select in the folder dialog, instead of double click the destination, (it might have been the other way around, it was a few years ago). the backup would essentially write an empty file. How much fun it is to rebuild all your data from other sources!

I submitted a bug report and essentially got a DM from someeone that it was still on their todo list, and had been that way for a while. That was the last time I used them.

For easy to use, I really miss CrunchBang Linux.
