Add info on how versioning works in tahoe backup

Probably should add it to how_it_works and then link via an anchor to its respective feature.

Via Lou's feedback.

I got some more feedback on this from Myers, who wrote: "from the front page of your site I can't find some easy to copy and paste directions to backup more stuff, or restore it or see how much I've used"

What would be best for you? [20:24] Something I can put in a startup script to start the daemon, clear directions what to do to make an incremental backup to put in crontab, clear directions of what I need to do to be ready to recover the backup, clear directions how to restore that backup [20:27] clear directions on how to find out how close to 350GB I am

the backup cronjob should be built to not pile up as I'm guessing it's going to take more than 24 hours for this first run to finish [20:32] and if you have that built in you should put that in the documents

If you can recover the backups without the .tahoe dir you need to put warnings in red about that [20:35] my though is to put that dir on a usb key but perhaps you want to walk folks thru gpg encrypting it [20:37] but then you need the passkey
