Fellow Developers,


As arranged on UDS I have performed a check-up on available backup applications for our favourite KDE for inclusion on DVD. I have found two applications which meet the following criteria:


Must be KDE or Qt based

Has to be maintained



Those two applications are:

KBackup [1]BackInTime [2]


and they are both available in our repositories.


Based on superficial research carried out in mere 20 minutes I deem BackInTime KDE superior to KBackup in almost every aspect. Both applications have options to create backups but no matter when I looked I could not find Restore option in KBackup. What is more, BackInTime allows you to browse backups so you can restore only the files you want, it also displays any other backup which contains the selected file and shows a diff beween them (if possible ofc).





So far all test have been conducted on 1GB directory with mixed files (images, binaries, audio files and videos) but very soon I will be forced to copy my data to another HDD so I shall try them with about 900GB of data.





I invite each of you to give both of those applications a quick try and report back with results and experiences using them. Should anyone find another application which seems worthy of being our backup solution please do tell me.

Best regards.

It doesn't have one. That's a definite limitation.

Part of the discussion took place on IRC and I think it is safe to assume that BackInTime KDE will be our backup application of choice. I am marking that as done on Oneiric Todo list.

Best regards,
