Yes I forgot to say some details... :)

Ok, now I'm trying back-in-time. After some setting up, it's working and
copying 60+ GB from my Home to the external usb3 drive. And it's quite fast!

FYI I've tryed the option "use the files' checksum" to discover file
changes but that was too much time consuming! If enabled the process
gets too longer for me, so I disabled it back.

There's also a nice option to start the backup once a day if and when
the device is connected (udev). This is what I mean with "user-friendly" :)

I installed also Unison but to me it appeared more useful to syncronize
two folders in in a bidirectional way. Correct me if I'm wrong.
