IMPORTANT: luckyBackup copies files preserving their permissions, so you should run it with su privileges if you want to transfer data that a normal user has no authorization on.
Please note that there 2 links will be created in your menu:
1. For normal user execution.
This is created under Utilities (kde) or Accessories (Gnome) or Applications -> File Management (Debian menu).
2. For super-user execution.
This is created under System (kde) or System Tools (Gnome) or Applications -> System -> Administration (Debian menu).
Fedora users, install the beesu package to use the system menu link.
