But I'm still amazed that there is no backup solution on SUSE. (No need to mention tar and rsync again... they are not in the same league...)
You must not have the thread. There are several of them. There are StoreBackup and rdiff-backup that can be interesting. There are some others as well. It just seems that backing up is such a personal choice that each system needs a different apraoch and then each person also wants to do it differently. A search on Freshmeat on 'backup' gives me 279 projects. Somewhere even SUSE has to make a choice on what to include and what not. Due to the huge amount of programs and the differences in need, it will be unpossible to inlude the correct tool for everybody. e.g. I am looking at storeBackup and are still reading on how this thing works. Can't figure it out, so it is not realy for me. Too many possibilaties and choices. rdiff-backup is the next one I am looking at. Still does a bit more then I need. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit.
