In case he's listening, I'll say to Paul W. Abrahams that Nero's behavior does not mimic that of K3B's as far as how it records a compilation of files that it burned. I believe this makes NeroLINUX suitable to use for backup purposes as Paul wants to do.
I'm listening!
To wrap up, I'd have to conclude that there's very little to motivate one to acquire and familiarize oneself with this software when K3B is right there in the SuSE distributions.
Except perhaps, based on your comments, that Nero is suitable for backing up a compilation of files while K3B really isn't. To recapitulate my earlier comment, that's because K3B records the content of the directories you're backing up and therefore gets them wrong if the contents change. I've reported that as a K3B bug, to which, so far, there has been no response.

A big caveat is in order: Now that I realize that this is not a port of Nero, but rather a repackaging of Gnome Toaster, I'm not sure my assumption about this behavior is warranted.
From http://ww2.nero.com/us/NeroLINUX.html: <quote> * NeroLINUX uses NeroAPI for low-level operations (burn process) * Autodetection and support for all types of internal CD and DVD recorders supported by NeroAPI 6.6 </quote> I think they did change more than a thing or two under the hood.
