Using a external hard drive, and rsync / rsnapshot as a remote filesystem backup utility, I create scheduled incremental backups of my Linux & Windows file systems. This light-weight and efficient scheme allows me to create increment backups every 4 hours and keep backups up to three months.

I show here how to configure your Raspberry Pi and your Microsoft Windows based PC, so they share the same display monitor. Using the powers of X Window, the Raspberry Pi Linux applications and MS Windows programs can work side-by-side.

This is how I setup the software source code control envirnment for my Arduino and Raspberry Pi work. I'm making use of the distributed version control system Git and it cloud based repository, GitHub.
