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.

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.

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.

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 use backintime on all of the families computers. My daughters have on their systems (openSuSE 12.1, KDE 4.7) a per user profile. When you configure backintime via GUI a cronfile is generated, that will be handled via anacron. They both make _unattended_ backups of their home directory.

I changed this (ana)cronfile into a normal cronfile by hand. Every day exept Sunday a backup is made. The exception Sunday for then a system backup will be made, also using backintime. On Sundays backups older than 7 days will be removed automatically. This is also configured in backintime

On my Debian machine the same policy works for my home directory.

The weekly backups (including the weekly system backups) are stored on a 2 TByte USB harddisk that is connected to my computer. The filesystems for this system backup is mounted as NFS on my daughters machines.

The daily backups are stored on the internal disk of my machine. Also made available via NFS. I think that will be changed in the next future.

I never had problems with backintime.

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?
