User Mover

Right now User Mover (tentatively titled) is just an idea at the moment. The idea behind it is that it would be a simple and quick utility for migrating a user, his data, and his settings to a new computer or a new install. The concept is similar to something like Grsync (or rsync).

Grsync

User Mover would be broken down into its functions through a wizard that would walk the user through moving from one computer to the next. It would ask you which user(s) to move, whether or not to move their settings, which folders in their home directory to move, Whether or not to move all of their installed applications, and finally if the information should be packaged up, burned to disc, or sent across the network.

Perhaps modifying rsync and creating a slicker ‘elementary’ styled interface would be a way to go? A Esync! What do you think?
