[opensuse-kde] Backup app for default KDE installation
Hey everybody! It seems that currently there is no user backup app, i.e. not YaST, for the default KDE installation on openSUSE. LuckyBackup is only part of :Extra. It is a frontend to rsync and rated pretty high on kde-apps.org, maintained and working. (The UI is a bit too colourful. :)) Hence the question whether it should be pushed to Factory, i.e. openSUSE 12.2, before the freeze?

Hi, very good idea. These tools are always meaningful and useful. -- Grüße aus dem Schwabenland, … Linuxsusefan … … openSUSE Member … … die "SuS(i)E" sei mit euch, wo immer ihr seid … … wer die "SuS(i)E" nicht kennt, hats Leben verpennt …

I have had a lot of luck with backintime. It has both gnome and kde backends, and overall has a lot of really good features. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Does either of these backup apps support unattended non-user login backup? (system is on but no user is logged in) I use kbackup from Extra for this, in cron.daily. It has worked well. -johnm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Can it use rsync daemon/modules on a NAS, i.e. something like: rsync server-ip::module I could not find any other tool that can use them but luckybackup. I checked time-drive (duplicity) and backintime.

luckybackup can create cron jobs.

I think kbackup did not see any commit for a year or more, i.e. is unmaintained. Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Hey, I use even with kbackup preferences because it is reliable and easy to use. I mean but also the care of the packet kbackup is not like it would be necessary if this tool would be by default there. -- Grüße aus dem Schwabenland, … Linuxsusefan … … openSUSE Member … … die "SuS(i)E" sei mit euch, wo immer ihr seid … … wer die "SuS(i)E" nicht kennt, hats Leben verpennt …

I think that will be changed in the next future.

We had backintime on the feature list for 12.2 already, and it's in Factory now. http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:KDE_feature_plan_12.2#Missing_apps Can users provide an answer to Sven's questions?
