Moyners's questions

I am building a PC running Ubuntu 18.04LTS to replace a Windows 7 machine (about flipping time I hear you say!) for someone I help with their tech.

The backup utility from Win7 has been used to make a system backup with the data written to an external USB drive.

I will be manually copying files from Documents, Pictures, Music to the new setup initially.

I want to guard against finding in the future that there are files/folders that suddenly become needed.

I'd like to know if there is a utility for Ubuntu that can work with the .zip files and catalogs that the Win7 backup utility creates that would allow for files/folders to be restored without me having to find a Windows machine to use to get the files from the USB drive.

edit: It is about finding a manageable way to see and extract the files contained in the set of files are are titled 'Backup Files xxx.zip' Thanks

I'm trying out Mycroft AI on Ubuntu 18.10 and am liking it so far.

I would like to launch Mycroft on PC startup.

There is a .sh script provided to launch Mycroft:

It's start-mycroft.sh in the mycroft-core diretory within the home directory.

I've had a brief look on Askubuntu and found it rather confusing, I'd appreciate someone giving me a bit of a shove in the right direction. Thanks
