I mentioned to someone a while back that KBackup was a very nice program that I used to use when the system was using Slackware but a Debian package of it did not seem to be available. After doing some looking around, I see that it is Shareware and that might account for its absence from Debian.
After looking at Karsten's home page, however, I noted that he is willing to put it under GPL if he can find a good maintainer for the program. (see http://www.uni-karlsruhe.de/~Karsten.Ballueder/news ) I do not have the resources to maintain this program but I would like to mention it here so that possibly someone that does will have a look at it and possibly "debianize" the thing. It is a VERY nice backup program (requires expect as I recall). Does seem to have a small problem with multi-volume zip drive backups but it always worked fine with me with floppies. It also supports tape devices. What I like about it is that unlike tar.gz, an error does not cause you to loose the whole archive. A patch is in the works for the zip drive problem. The user interface was very nice, as I recall, and easy to operate. -- George Bonser [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
