Have you looked at yast2 backup module ?
Unless 9.0 has improved greatly on the 8.2 version, it is impractical. - Horribly slow. - Needs a lot of space to make a full copy in /tmp (and crashes if insufficient space). - Configuration of what to save or not is not saved for another run - No tree view to select things to update or not. - After it generates a list of files to backup (process that may take an hour) there is not easy way to adjust it, ie, remove/add things using patterns, for example, or a tree browsable list. - Support for spanning to several disks, with compression and media error recovery is lacking. I'm sorry, but I have to compare any backup program with what I had with PCtools Backup (Central Point Software) back in 1992. Nothing I have seen in Linux yet is as good as that was - but I have not seen all yet. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
