Hi Michael,

Here are my notes based on your prior comments:

A) I don't like the change from "Backup Help" to icon / "Deja Dup Backup Tool".  The icon isn't well-aligned and I'd prefer to not use the deja dup name quite so prominently.

-- I've changed this back.

B) I don't notice the effect of the style="tip" or style="task" changes.  Is it a subtle change or something that my theme might not be doing?

-- It's a bit hard to explain in writing, but when the 'style="tip"' or other style attribute is missing, it looks as if an image in the "favicon" area of yelp tried to load, but couldn't. It isn't a big deal, but I just think it looks a bit better to use the style attribute.

C) For Alternatively->Alternately, I think Alternatively actually makes more sense.  See http://www.wordnik.com/words/alternately vs http://www.wordnik.com/words/alternatively

-- I've reverted this change.

D) Why do you prefer "regularly" to be after the verb rather than in front?

-- Thanks for asking. Per this page [0], including the adverb at the end of the sentence makes it stronger. Given that we're encouraging people to back up more frequently, I thought it gave it a little more oomph to put "reguarly" at the end. (Both approaches are technically fine, though).

E) Good catch on "services costs" and the missing id= attributes.

-- : )

==========
One other thing I noticed was that the docs don't break the line at 79 characters, and this makes diffs hard to read in Launchpad (and in other diff-related tools). With GNOME docs, we prefer to break the lines at 79 chars where possible just because it makes diffs easier to read. I wanted to hold off on making that change until I got an OK from you, though.

If it's ok with you, I'll make the change to each of the doc pages (breaking the lines at 79 chars where I can) w/o making any other textual changes. Let me know what you think.
