[rdiff-backup-users] How to request from new user

Hi All

I am a new rdiff-backup user (Ubuntu 7.10) and I wish to use it in a
relatively simple way: To backup/mirror most, but not all, of the
folders in my home directory to a folder in an external usb drive, to
have this run automatically on the hour every hour incrementally when my
computer is switched on, and to be able to move the external drive to a
new computer in the event of computer failure and do a restore. 

I have read around a little and obviously rdiff-backup can do this, and
I have installed it, but I don't have a full understanding of how to get
this going (my command line knowledge is very limited). As my
requirement is relatively simple I'm sure that somebody is doing the
same as me, or that this question has cropped up before. Does anybody
have some step-by-step instructions that would help me setup my backup?
I would prefer a graphical front end to manage this but if one does not
exist I would be content to set it running from the command line.

With grateful thanks, Martin
